Glacier National Park's Canadian Sister

Just over the Canadian Border is Glacier National Park's Sister Park - Waterton Lakes National Park.  It is really the same terrain and same beauty, but done Canadian Style.  The visitor area is a small homey little town, instead of mass commercialism.  The trails a little more rugged, the air a little more crisp and the visitors a whole lot less.  The park was Canada's 4th national park starting in 1895 by a Victorian naturalist, Charles Waterton.  A hiker can lace up ones boots and head straight across the Rockies into the US or a boater can cross the Waterton Lake and end up in the same place.  In honor of one of the great black-and-white photographers, Ansel Adams, here it is in his color, but definitely not of his caliber.
