7 8 WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK www.MyWaterton.ca Scenic Drives on Scenic Parkways

Exploring Waterton along its scenic parkways is an adventure waiting to unfold. From stunning scenic vistas to free roaming wildlife, nature is there for you at your own time and pace. Early morning and evening is a good time to see wildlife as animals are most active at these times of day.

Akamina Parkway Begins at the village and runs 16 km (10 mi.) up the Cameron Valley to glacier formed Cameron Lake. The parkway gains elevation as it rises above the Waterton Valley and alongside the deep Cameron Creek canyon. Forested mountain views, a creekside picnic shelter and backcountry trailheads are along this route. Discovery Well National Historic Site is found here which commemorates Western Canada’s first producing oil well. The continental divide parallels the roadway and the boundaries of Alberta, British Columbia and Montana converge at Cameron Lake. Open in winter for access to Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.

Red Rock Parkway Meanders 15 km (9 mi.) over rolling prairie through the Blakiston Valley. Best illustrates “where the mountains meet the prairie”. The roadway is access to Crandell Campground. The Parkway follows the ancient Buffalo Trail used by First Nations hunting parties for the past 10,000 years. Learn more at roadside exhibits along the way. Dramatic views of Mt. Blakiston the Park’s highest mountain 2940 m/9645 ft are complimented by strikingly colored red and green rocks. Red Rock Canyon offers a lovely day use area with self-guided loop trails, exhibits, and picnic shelters.

Chief Mountain International Highway This route departs Highway #5 east of the park gate and travels into Glacier National Park USA, at the Chief Mountain Customs station. The seasonal road offers dramatic scenic vistas high above the Waterton Valley. Learn more at the exhibit there. The Belly River campground is located along this route. Sacred Chief Mountain dominates the skyline.

Buffalo Paddock Circle Drive Located north of the Park entrance gate is the Bison drive-thru paddock. The road rolls across a stunning glacial landscape of moraines and eskers. Native Prairie grasslands there are home to a small herd of bison which are direct descendents from the original herds of the Great Plains.

Be Alert Be Alert- hundreds of animals are killed on roadways as they can run in front of your car in an instant. Please stay within posted speed limits and take time to scan the landscape for the wonders that await you.

Waterton Early On

Let us tempt you! The area that became Waterton Lakes National Park has long been a natural and historic treasure, a beauty spot of note. Word got out beginning with the arrival of the Thomas Wright Blakiston party in 1858, a delegation of the Palliser Expedition charged with exploring and learning about opportunities Open until 11 pm for future settlement and development. It was Blakiston who suggested the name “Waterton” upon his arrival here to honor an acquaintance of his, Charles Waterton, an English naturalist and ornithologist. every night Eventually the Park’s tallest mountain was named for Blakiston and stands as a 2940 metre (9,645 feet) sentinel rising above the Red Rock Parkway. On Main Street The area’s first permanent settlers made their home near the lakes in the 1870’s. John George “Kootenai” Brown, with his Métis wife Olive, scratched out a living together in this isolated, rugged land. Olive died in 1884 and was buried along the shore of Lower Waterton Lake. Brown and his Waterton Lakes second wife, Isabella, would later be buried there also. The graves are available for viewing and are marked with a roadside pull off. National Park In 1895, the Government of Canada set aside an initial 140 square kilometres (54 square miles) Alberta as a protected reserve and created this national park, Canada’s fourth, in 1911. Brown was so knowledgeable he was later appointed the park’s first official and eventually its first manager. His memory is a tribute to the rugged pioneer spirit that helped protect the area. The townsite was surveyed in 1910 and buildings, both commercial and residential, began to be erected within a few years. Most notable among them is the Park’s oldest and most prominent accommodation, the Prince of Wales Hotel which opened in 1927. Built by Canadians for the American-owned Great Northern Railway, the hotel is the Park’s only building designated as a (403) 859-2211 National Historic Site. The Park’s only other National Historic Site is located along the Akamina Parkway. It is the site of western Canada’s first producing oil well. bayshoreinn.com
