Where the prairies crash abruptly into the Rockies, Waterton Lakes sits right on the US border and connects with Glacier National Park across the line — together they form the world's first International Peace Park. The scenery is dramatic and uncrowded compared to Banff; bison, deer, moose, elk and bear all roam here. A worthwhile detour for anyone heading to the southern part of the province.
