Beautiful Scenery, lots of wildlife, warm weather!
Con
Lots of people, at least in the summer.
In a nutshell
What a wonderful experiance. The scenery was amazing, and the people we met were very friendly.
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Many people rush right in to Waterton Lakes National Park, and fail to stop at the Bison Paddock which is just inside the park entrance. Waterton is a place where the prairie meets the mountains, and the Paddock is located on the prairie, but with a great mountain view. The...
International Peace Park Pavilion
Stephen-KarenConn Says: On the south shore of Upper Waterton Lake you will find this Pavilion, between downtown Waterton Park and the town's Marina. There is a small park with a collection of interpretative displays that tell the story of the formation of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace...
GOING TO THE SUN ROAD @ GLACIER N/PARK
balhannah Says: The Glacier National Park in Montana, U.S.A., actually joins Waterton National Park in Alberta, Canada.We went for the drive to Glacier, so we could drive the "Going to the Sun" scenic road journey.Lucky we remembered our Passports, as we had to go through a border crossing....
WATERTON VILLAGE & DEER EVERYWHERE!
balhannah Says: Waterton Village, and I couldn't believe my eyes!.......there were Deer roaming the streets, infact, Deer were everywhere, in people's front yards, on the roads, and some had Fawn's too! Waterton Village is only very tiny, offering everything you could need, such as...
balhannah Says: Even if you are not staying here, do stop and go in for a look, we did!As you follow the road to the township of Waterton, you can't miss the Hotel, sitting alone, high on a high with the lake & beautiful mountain's surrounding it.The 86-room hotel, named after Prince...
balhannah Says: The Cameron Falls are located in the townsite of Waterton Village.They are signposted, so you really shouldn't miss them. We went for a look, and were not disappointed, as they had plenty of water pouring over the Precambrian bedrock which dates back 1.5 billion years (1500...
balhannah Says: The Buffalo Paddock is a fenced-off area of prairie grassland that is home to the park's buffalo herd. It is situated on the road leading from Pincher Creek to Waterton Lakes, so as we were staying at Pincher Creek and were driving past, we decided to go in for a look.We...
balhannah Says: This is another must do drive. 16 ks from Waterton village, following a scenic road, we came to roads end and the beautiful Cameron Lake. The drive itself is lovely, passing by many scenic views plus the National Historic site of western Canada's 1st Oil well. We pulled off...
balhannah Says: A lovely scenic drive to Red Rock Canyon is a must.It is only 16kms to drive, so not far, along the way the views were of hanging valleys, alpine meadows, jagged mountain peaks and we saw some Deer as well. At the canyon car park, once again in miserable misty rain, we...

Zum's Eatery & Mercantile: ZUM'S SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
loverofrestaurants Says: Alberta food service inspection should shut this place down!On a day trip to Waterton with my son, daughter in law and 3 month old granddaughter, my husband and I thought it would be nice to treat everyone to dinner while in Waterton....after some discussion we decided to...
New Frank's Restaurant: Good food
Camping_Girl Says: Frank's serves really great Chinese food. The decor is typical plain-jane cafe style, but what it lacks in atmosphere it more than makes up for in taste! They serve Chinese and American dishes and a good breakfast. This is one of the cheapest places to eat in the...
Thirsty Bear Saloon: The only night life in town!
Camping_Girl Says: This saloon is located in the Bayshore Inn. It is a fairly large bar and gets pretty busy in the evenings. It is only open during the summer season.There are pool tables, a DJ and a dance floor. Waterton is a pretty casual place, and so is the dress code for the Thirsty...
Bwana_Brown Says: About 3 months prior to our trip, I checked with the major car rental companies to see what I could get for a deal. In the course of my discussions with them, it suddenly occured to me that maybe I should see if they offer any discounts for 'seniors', now that I am over 55!...
Camping_Girl Says: Located in the Tamarack Village Square, they offer daily shuttle services to Cameron Lake (Carthew-Alderson trail), Chief Mountain Customs (to connect to U.S. trailheads), and Red Rock Canyon (Tamarack Trail), for a fee. The cost is $9 per seat to Cameron Lake; $15 to...

Camping_Girl Says: This little store is located about 25 km north of Waterton Park, on highway #6 (about midway between Waterton and Pincher Creek), in the little town of Twin Butte.In addition to being a general store that sells sundries, camping supplies, souvenirs & ice cream, they also...
spidermiss Says: My travelling colleague attempted to do the Crypt Lake Trail. We caught the boat taxi and went across Upper Waterton Lake to start the trail. It was tough - a very steep ascent throughout, over 1000m above sea level...we had reached 3/4 way up and we both decided to turn...
Camping_Girl Says: The Waterton Lakes Lodge has a fitness centre attached to it. Registered guests can use the facility free of charge. Non-guests can access the facilities for $6 CAD a day.The fitness centre has an indoor salt water pool, hot tub, gym, spa, massage therapy clinic, showers and...
balhannah Says: We were at Waterton National Park in June and the Wildflowers were in bloom. I saw quite a few different ones, how nice in this pretty setting.Waterton Lakes National Park is home to more than 50 per cent of Alberta's wildflowers... more than any other Rocky Mountain...
Camping_Girl Says: The Waterton Health Club (in the Waterton Lakes Lodge) has public showers and laundry available to non-members. This is perfect for someone who's been hiking or back country camping for a few days and is desperate for a hot shower!The cost for showers last time I checked was...
