Improvement District No. 4

Home to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta's southwest corner, where the Rockies meet the prairie in broad, magnificent scenery.

Improvement District No. 4 lies in the southwest corner of Alberta and corresponds essentially to Waterton Lakes National Park. It adjoins Glacier National Park in Montana, USA, and together they form Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park (a World Heritage Site). Highlights include the Prince of Wales Hotel, boat cruises on Upper Waterton Lake, Red Rock Canyon and many alpine trails. Jun–Sep is the main visiting season. It is usually reached by a drive of about three hours from Calgary.
