Feel the Spirit
Many people don’t have this Alberta park on their travel radar, mostly because it gets eclipsed by its celebrity sisters, Banff and Jasper. Created in 1895, Waterton Lakes National Park joined forces with Glacier National. On its way to park, stop at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. This is one of the world's oldest and best-preserved Buffalo Jumps. Known for its remarkable testimony of prehistoric life, the site bears witness to a custom practiced by indigenous people of the North American plains for nearly 6,000 years.
The Hidden Secrets of Waterton Lakes National Park
The Red Rock Parkway travels 15 km up the Blakiston Valley through rolling grasslands and ends at Red Rock Canyon and the Akamina Parkway is a winding mountain road that starts in the Waterton townsite and runs 16 km along the Cameron Valley, ending at Cameron Lake which borders Montana.

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump World Heritage Site, Fort Macleod, Canada *** This is an option stop ***
Sitting atop a prairie hill, the interpretive center at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump overlooks the spot where the primary food source and way of life were herded toward the edge and fell to their death. The demise of the bison provided sustenance and contributed to all facets of the Plains people’s way of being. Bison were how they clothed themselves, sustained themselves throughout brutal winters and provided shelter from the harsh prairie elements. 120 minutes
Bison Paddock Loop Road, Canada This scenic overlook takes you to the more traditional prairie views where grazing Bison roam about the rough fescue. Located below the Overlook, Bison can frequently be seen within the paddock. 120 minutes

Jerzy did an excellent job! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the experience fun and exciting. He not only took us to the common tourist sites, but he also took us to so many beautiful places where you don't see a lot of tourists. For example, Bow Lake we stayed at the lodge. What a great experience. The food and service were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Prince of Whales hotel and Waterton. We were there for a week and saw so much. We highly recommend Jerzy. You won't be sorry!!

This was very very special. Was our second trip with Jerzy within 2 days. We covered Banff earlier. Everybody visits and loves Banff but for me Waterton was the highlight of our week. The range of attractions is simply surreal.
Add to that an expert like Jerzy and you cant simply miss this.
This tour was not like other group tours that mainly focus on Waterton town and nearby sights. But guess what we saw? We saw Bisons in a remote area of the park and I cannot explain it in words. It was truly a spiritual experience.
We also visited Red Rock Canyon, Cameron Lake etc. before stopping in the town and spending some in the famous Prince of Wales hotel.
Like always, only 5 stars for Jerzy and his tours.

Walking short trails to the bison park, lakes and waterfalls. The scenery was amazing! Lunch was at a picnic table by the lake. There were frequent stops at points of interest and the guide was flexible. History of the area was also provided. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area.
