Straddling the US-Canada border, Montana’s Glacier National Park and Alberta’s Waterton Lakes National Park offer one of the most stunning welcomes to the Rocky Mountains out there. While it’s often overshadowed by nearby Banff and Jasper National Parks, Waterton Lakes features similar crystal clear lakes and stunning mountain scenery.
In this video, you’ll learn about the complexities of wildland conservation and preservation when the international border runs right through the middle of both parks. Then, you’ll head down to Cameron Lake to see the international border itself. It takes immense cooperation and coordination between the US National Park Service and Parks Canada, but the two agencies have a very special friendship that allows them to succeed.
