Description
Trying to get caught up on posting scenes of Waterton Lakes National Park. These two photos were taken on an exploration of a little side road which eventually petered out, but not before giving us some beautiful mountain and valley views.
A beautiful full color book of my favorite paintings and photographs is now available at this address:

You can see a full preview by paging though the entire book. Please use Full Screen to get the best rendition. The book can be ordered directly from Blurb.
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, in turn after the Victorian naturalist and conservationist Charles Waterton. The park contains 505 km2 (195 sq mi) of rugged mountains and wilderness.
Operated by Parks Canada, Waterton is open all year, but the main tourist season is during July and August. The only commercial facilities available within the park are located at the Waterton Park townsite. The park ranges in elevation from 1,290 metres (4,232 ft) at the townsite to 2,910 m (9,547 ft) at Mount Blakiston. It offers many scenic trails, including Crypt Lake trail.
In 1932, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was formed from Waterton and Glacier, dedicated to world peace by Sir Charles Arthur Mander on behalf of Rotary International. Although the park has a lot of diversity, the main highlight is the Waterton lakes,the deepest in the Canadian Rockies,overlooked by the historic Prince of Wales Hotel National Historic Site.
The Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1995 for the distinctive climate, physiographic setting, mountain-prairie interface, and tri-ocean hydrographical divide. There are areas of significant scenic values with abundant and diverse flora and fauna.
