Waterton

One of my favorite places in the world is Waterton Lakes National Park in the southwest corner of Alberta.  As a youth, I attended two different camps in the park. Unfortunately, this past year, a large area within the park suffered wildfire damage.  But even that would make it challenging to take away from the rugged beauty of the area.

While many focus on the mountains, in many ways the real character of the park is set by the abrupt transition from prairie to foothill, to mountain.

Find it.

If one ever finds one's self in the area, a drive up or down Alberta highway 22 in the direction of the more well-known, Banff, is brethtaking in it's own right.
