Day 22 - Waterton Lakes National Park


We crossed into Canada without any problems and got to show our passports for the first time ever. Waterton Lakes is located in the southwest corner of Alberta, Canada and borders Glacier National Park in Montana. There are three beautiful lakes (Lower, Middle, and Upper) which are located at the base of the Canadian Rockies. The mountains are very spectacular and rugged and there was alot of snow on them. Upper Waterton Lake was still frozen. You cannot help but notice the Prince of Whales Hotel when you arrive at the very small quaint town of Waterton which overlooks the middle lake. It was built in 1926 and named after Prince Edward. We camped at the park in Waterton and enjoyed riding our bikes around town and the lake. We took a short trip into the mountains to Red Rock Canyon and hiked out to the falls. It was very beautiful and we enjoyed having lunch by the river.
