Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada

Glacier National Park borders Alberta,  Canada, and the Canadians have a national park which shares Glacier's border.  In 1932, the two parks combined to create the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.  One of the days we spent on the east side of the park took us to Canada for a look-see.  

We drove all the roads in the park and took walks at the good stopping points (between raindrops).  Here is the Red Rock Canyon which offers an easy stroll with many vantage points for photos.  (It's not very big.)
 Here is Blackiston Falls - a short, flat walk about 1.2 miles roundtrip (2 K).
This one is Cameron Lake, at the end of another road.  We did not walk far enough to see the advertised grizzly hangout which is at the far end of the lake.
 The Prince of Wales Hotel.  Tomorrow I will blog about the high tea at this beautiful spot.
