While leaving Waterton Lakes National Park we passed this view point. On the sign here it says: "where the mountains meet the prairies"
Waterton Lakes National Park is a national park located in the southwest corner of Alberta, Canada, and borders Glacier National Park in Montana, USA. Waterton was Canada's fourth national park, formed in 1895 and named after Waterton Lake. The park contains 505 km² (203 mi²) of rugged mountains and wilderness.
In 1932, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was formed from Waterton and Glacier. This park symbolizes the bonds of peace and friendship between the people of the United States and Canada.
