Waterton Lakes National Park

Where the prairies meet the mountains, on the US border

Why it belongs on the route

Waterton is smaller and further south than the main Banff–Jasper corridor, bordering Glacier National Park in Montana. We treat it as a dedicated southern Rockies extension so guests have time to experience it properly.
