Waterton Lakes National Park

This is the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton Lakes National Park.  If you choose not to stay overnight, you can always go for afternoon tea (English style).  

Constructed between 1926–1927, the hotel was built by the American Great Northern Railway to lure American tourists during the prohibition-era north of the border.


We spent an hour or so here at this hotel to avoid a little rain.  Here are some photos of the area and some of the animals.  This would be a great place to stay and explore for a few days.  There are regular campgrounds as well.
