WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK,
Canada-United States. View from the Canadian side, looking down
Waterton Lake toward the mountains in Montana. In 1932, following
legislation by the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada and the Congress
of the United States, by proclamation of the President the Waterton
Lakes National Park of Canada and the Glacier National Park in the
United States became the Waterton-Glacier International Peace
Parka new development in parks and in international relations.
Creation of the international peace park was suggested at a joint
meeting of the Rotarians of Alberta, Canada, and of the State of
Montana. Only a wide swath cut through the forest indicates the
international boundary. The Glacier Park Company and the Glacier Park
Transport Company, respectively, operate the Prince of Wales Hotel in
Waterton Lake Park and scheduled bus transportation between the hotels
in Glacier Park and the Prince of Wales. (Photograph by Walt
