The first main stop on our recent trip from Canmore - Waterton NP/Glacier(USA) - Cypress Hills was Waterton National Park.
The Prince of Wales Hotel is a signature structure there - built between 1926–1927
by the Great Northern Railway to lure American tourists north of the border during prohibition.
