沃特顿冰川国际和平公园

加拿大的沃特顿国家公园位于艾伯塔省最南端，建于1895年，与美国的Glacier National Park相连，合称为沃特顿－冰河国际和平公园 (waterton -Glacier International Peace Park)，希望两国不分你我，共同享用与保护自然资源，这个和平公园的设立，开了全球先例，至今仍是世界上最大的国际和平公园。1995年，联合国教科文组织 (UNESCO) 又指定这两座国家公园为“世界遗产” (World Heritage Site)。www.my Waterton.ca从Glacier 的Logan Pass经St.Mary's出来，走最近的Chief Mountain边境处（67公里，开车半个多小时）过海关去Waterton。如果从加拿大还回美国，那么美国的出入境证明单(I-94)在这里就不必交还，待最后回国上飞机前再交。加拿大的海关要查验签证、盖章。这个关口只是季节性的开放：7:00 to 22:00 - June 1st to August 30th:9:00 to 18:00 - Sept 1st to Sept 30th:October 1st to May 31st. - the gate is closed, the next nearest crossing is Caraway

我们是9月21日至27那周待在那儿的,碰上这个时间段的我们是在是太幸运了。那时天气很好,树叶都没染成了金黄色。我们用了3天时间逛公园。由于这个季节公园闭园,所以基本上没什么人,但实际上这正是游览公园的最佳时机。

今年8月,我带着14岁的儿子背包旅游了8天,这里的景色太漂亮了!有个护林员说过:"这里没有不好的路",事实确实如此。我提前几个月订制的路线由于灰熊出没而取消了。我们在公元里徒步了8天7晚,每到一处,景致都很棒。

8月的时候,我们去沃特顿冰川国际和平公园玩了两周半。我们在那儿饱览了各种各样的野生动物,还进行了很刺激的徒步旅行,也了解到了一些关于蒙大纳土著美国人的文化方面的知识。公园里的奇景数不胜数,绝对值得大家拍照留念,我觉得哪怕是一个不食人间烟火的人,也会觉得这里的景色美到极致。为了方便起见,我们租了一个房子,虽然很贵,但我还是建议大家,如果呆的时间长的话,那么还是租间房,这样会方便的多。在公园里,我们去的每一个地方都景色优美,而且还能不停地看到新颖的事物。我知道我会永远把这次旅行珍藏在脑海中,而且我一定还会再去的。

有些地方就是有一种让你难以言喻的东西存在,可是当你真的置身在那儿,你却完全可以感受到它。沃特顿冰川国际和平公园就有这样的魅力!这里是我见过的最棒的地方。

This Peace Park is the union of Glacier Nation Park in the US and Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. They are connected and you can hike from wither one into the other. However, it would be a very strenuous hike of about 35 miles.

So much to see and do. There are a variety of things put on by the park rangers including skits in the theatre, walks and First Nation talks. There is also a bison paddock close by and a boat (which needs to be paid for) to America.We saw bears, went horseback riding and hired canoes. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Beautiful Park, took in a few hikes and had a good lunch in town. Saw all kids of animals including bears.

What an experience to have high tea at the Prince of Wales hotel. Attentive service, delicious tidbits with piping hot tea and the view of the storm passing over the lake was an unforgettable experience. The harpsichord music was a delightful addition.

When we took a trip to Glacier National Park, we wanted to include a day at Waterton. This was well worth our time to cross the border and go thru the whole passport process and everything. The whole concept of the two parks in different countries being run jointly was just really cool. We took a boat trip on Upper Waterton Lake that actually took us back into the US a little ways. Although we didn't do any long hiking, there are trails that go from one park deep into the other. It is beautiful and peaceful, on both sides of the park. I have posted pictures of both in my individual reviews of individual sites and attractions. The whole trip was great.

The park is beautiful and an easy drive from Swifcurrent Cabins in Glacier. We went on a drive to Cameron Lake which is a beautiful, peaceful lake. We also went to Red Rock Canyon. Prince of Wales Hotel here has one of the most perfect spots on earth. We did not do any long hikes here because weather was not cooperating, but I'd like to come back.

Worth stopping if you are passing through but not worth going out of the way to see it. We walked the grounds and found it to be interesting and well maintained.

Although only a small area of the enormously large Waterton-Glacier International Park, you could easy spend a couple of weeks here enjoying the town of Waterton, the drives to Red Rock Canyon and to Cameron Lake as well as 29 hiking trails ranging fro. 20 minutes Easy to 9 hours Difficult. A must see location.

We share some beautiful places with our Canadian neighbors. If you are a nature lover and scenery junkie You won't be disappointed

what an awesome experience, to explore one of North America's premier national parks.No words, no pictures, I offer here can do justice to the inspiration and natural beauty that Glacier offers those that experience it.One can only experience it through a visit of their own.
