“These historic lodges tell the story of the region’s rugged nature—the howling winds of Waterton, the ancient forests of Glacier, the limestone chiseled from these mountains. Many of these rustic chalets and hotels were built by Great Northern Railway to lure visitors to the new national parks
nearly a century ago when people journeyed between chalets by horseback.”

“Rooms with a view come in all shapes and sizes. The region boasts thousands of public and private campsites for tents and RVs. Or you can ponder the stars through the top of a Blackfoot tipi. The aroma of grilled saskatoon pancakes will lure you from your guest ranch bunk. Huckleberry
muffins will entice you from the fluffy warmth of your bed and-breakfast inn. Creature comforts in the Crown of the Continent are as diverse as the ecosystem itself.”
