browse (1 / 5)

Truly one of its kind, Waterton-Glacier Peace International Peace Park is made up of two separate parks – the Glacier National Park bordering the Montana Rockies in the USA and the Waterton Lakes National Park in the province of Alberta, Canada. Created in 1932, Canada and the United States decided to join these two national parks as an everlasting symbol of the peace and friendship between the two nations.

Situated in the heart of the continental divide, it offers up some of the most beautiful North American mountain scenery and lakes. The park is also known for its abundant wildlife – wolves, grizzly bears and mountain lions also call the park home. Individually, both parks have been declared Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO and their union as a World Heritage Site.

The park is favored by seasoned hikers and holiday strollers alike. With a combined tally of over 700 trails, there really is something for everyone. From dazzling rugged peaks to pristine lakes, hiking trails range from easy to adventurous. To make the most of your visit to Waterton-Glacier Peace International Peace Park, why not try one of the may guided tour options.
