Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada

Highly recommend this park for summer and fall adventures. It is best experienced then. During the winter it really becomes a ghost town, but if you like cross country skiing, fat biking or winter hiking this is a good place to come in the winter too, and especially to experience the high winds this place gets.

But, for me summer is best!

A must! This is a magnificent national park full of amazing pockets of beauty.

We went during the last half of September and seeing the park in autumn was simply jaw dropping. The changing colours of the leaves against a backdrop of rugged mountains, calm lakes and blue skies was like walking into a postcard.

At this time, early Fall, there weren’t many tourists which gave us a more comfortable and relaxing stay.

We spent a week here, making it our home-base while exploring other parts of Alberta. 2 days or overnight would also be good if you can’t stay any longer. A day trip to Waterton Lakes National Park would be too short a visit. This place has so much to offer.

There are many hiking trails around from easy short ones to the more challenging trails, one can select whichever is preferred.

There are many coffee shops and restaurants as well in the area, which makes taking a break or having a good solid meal ideal after a hike.

Beautiful nature. Amazing in Fall. Restaurants close by September. Take food with you as there is no place to eat. But I like going there during off season because it's very quiet.

Waterton Lakes National Park

We had wild fire smoke during our visit, hence the haze, but the views were incredible.

Waterton National Park, established in 1895, is Canada's fourth national park and part of the world's first International Peace Park with Glacier National Park. Together, they celebrate peace and cooperation between nations.

We had an unforgettable adventure crossing borders from Glacier National Park to Waterton Lakes National Park! The journey started with a smooth border crossing, and we drove in awe to the historic Prince of Wales Hotel.

The Prince of Wales Hotel, located in Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada, was built in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway. Its name honors the future King Edward VIII, who visited the region in 1927. The Hotel, perched on a hilltop, boasts a rich history. Its majestic architecture and breathtaking views of Upper Waterton Lake make it a true gem of the Rockies!
