Waterton National Park viewpoint — Attraction in Alberta

We visited Waterton as a day trip during our visit to Glacier National Park. It took us a few hours from Glacier but the views were awesome.

Our first trip of the year is early May, and there is not much open in the townsite, but even in the summer months, it is not as crazy busy as Banff or Jasper. It is a very nice...
