Waterton Lakes National Park is in southern Alberta, Canada, bordering Montana’s Glacier National Park. It’s known for its beauty and the peace that it brings.
I can easily say that Waterton is by far, one the best places that I have had the opportunity to travel to. To my left, I was surrounded by gorgeous mountain ranges. In front of me laid the transparent lake and to my right, their quaint town was a short bike ride away.
Every other summer, I travel to Canada with my mother to meet up with our Canadian friends. On this trip, we decided to meet in Waterton and stay in Debbie’s pop-up-trailer. We stayed at the national park and our site was right on the water. It was surreal, waking up every morning to the bright blue lake and seeing the colorful mountains that surrounded it. Depending on the time of day and where the sun was shining, the mountains would either be vibrant oranges and reds or blues and browns.
If staying at the national park like we did, make sure to bring clothing that is versatile for all weather conditions. We went in August and the weather was colder than any of us expected. If you stay right on the water, just as we did, the temperatures are cooler due to the high speed bursts of wind. With that in mind though, when taking a bike ride or going on a hike, you’ll be just fine wearing shorts and a tank top.
