In-Depth Information
The route to Waterton is almost as scenic as the park itself. From whichever direction
you arrive, the transition from prairie to mountains is abrupt, almost devoid of the foothills
that characterize other areas along the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies. Between
the park gate and the small township of Waterton, two roads penetrate the mountains to
the west. One ends at a large glaciated lake, the other at a spectacular canyon. The town is
a smaller version of those in Banff and Jasper. Like those towns, Waterton holds a grand
hotel built by the railway, a golf course, and a wide range of services, but the atmosphere
here is very different.
