Waterton Lakes National Park

Waterton Lakes National Park has over 120 miles of hiking trails that range from easy short strolls to challenging multi-day back country excursions. Spend a few hours (or days) exploring the park and taking in the stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, clear lakes, lively waterfalls, and sweeping meadows. The hiking season runs from July to mid-September. Some trails may be open before then, but often are under snow and an avalanche hazard until late June. Check the park’s trail conditions before heading out on any hikes.
