Waterton National Park
Waterton National Park is a highlight of southern Alberta with beautiful scenery of lakes, forest and waterfalls, and a quieter alternative to the northern parks.
In the south of Alberta bordering the US state of Montana, Waterton National Park boasts wonderful scenery where prairies rise to the Rockies and is quieter than more famous parks further north.
The tiny town itself has a gorgeous setting on the Waterton Lakes, the ideal base for hiking or horse-riding on trails filled with wildflowers and wildlife including bears and moose.
The 17-km day-long Crypt Lake Trail is a particular highlight through forests and past waterfalls. Try paddleboarding and kayaking on the park’s five lakes or take a cruise and cross briefly into Montana. Star-gazing is recommended so a dark skies tour is a good night-time option.
