Glacier + Waterton Planning Package

In 1932, Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park, located in Alberta, Canada, joined forces to form the world's first International Peace Park. Each national park is managed under the respective legislation for each country while working together to follow a shared management plan to protect the greater Crown of the Continent ecosystem. With a common goal to preserve the unique wilderness and remarkable environments nestled in the northern Rocky Mountains, the union of the two parks is also a symbol of peace and goodwill between the US and Canada.

Get a head-start on the planning processes with our curated package so that you can hit the trail as soon as you arrive.
