Waterton Lakes NP

Waterton Lakes National Park is nestled up against the Rocky Mountains in southwest Alberta, Canada, and shares a border with Glacier National Park in Montana. Established in 1895, the park offers spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. The iconic Prince of Wales Hotel, located in the town of Waterton, was built in the 1920s by the Great Northern Railway to lure Americans over the border during Prohibition. Together with Glacier National Park, Waterton Lakes is an international peace park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and both parks are biosphere reserves.
