Waterton is a national park about 2½ to 3 hours south of Calgary. Half of the park is in Canada, and called
"Waterton Lakes National Park." The other half is in the States and is called "Glacier National Park". All of the
Scrambles listed above are in Canada. One thing about Waterton is the abundance of black bears. If you are
going to be scrambling in this area, especially alone, be careful. Make lots of noise. Also, the quality of rock in
this area is not the best in the world.
