Waterton Glacier International Peace Park includes Waterton National Park in Canada and Glacier National Park in the United States.

To express the desire of the two peoples to live together in peace and share the commonwealth of mankind, these two parks joined forces in 1932 to establish the world's first international peace park.

The park has many glacial lakes, a magnificent alpine landscape, and rich flora and fauna. Most of the peaks in the park are above 3,000 meters, and there are nearly 50 glaciers, many lakes, and streams.

Waterton Lakes Park and Glacier Park, two national parks, are not known for their developed glaciers, but for the glacial terrain in their territories.

Waterton Lake is a glacially eroded lake, and the typical U-shaped valley topography of Glacier National Park is a remnant of the valley that was glacially eroded in the past.

Another notable feature of the terrain is the high mountains that rise above the flat grasslands. This is the result of the strong erosion of the foothills by the mountain glaciers and the continental glaciers of the past.

The undulating grassland strata between the steep mountain walls are the result of deposits left over from the past ice accumulation, which were formed after the glaciers melted and receded.

Now the glaciers in this area have long since melted and receded, and in the height of summer, there are hills with snow on them.

It is the large lake and the mountains that are the most attractive scenery here. There are more than two hundred jewel-like lakes scattered throughout the area, and streams and rivers that add up to more than 1,500 kilometers long.

The park is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species and is naturally home to many large mammalian predators such as wolves, bears, and lions. Waterton National Park is the only place in the 48 contiguous United States where wolves, bears, and lions can breed naturally.

The park is home to 1,258 species of trees and shrubs and 275 species of lichens, 240 species of fish, and more than 60 species of mammals.

The natural ecology of these two national parks deserves careful protection, with mountains and deep valleys, forested belts and grasslands, and deep iceberg troughs of rivers and lakes that feed into three oceans. It is rare to find such a concentration of diverse ecosystems in one area.

Moreover, the rapid rise in terrain from the gentle grassland zone to the Rocky Mountains makes this national park such a place - "where the mountains meet the grasslands.

Waterton National Park is on the World Heritage List. Waterton Glacier International Peace Park is located in the narrowest part of the Rocky Mountains, straddling the border between the U.S. and Canada, and to prove the credo that natural resources have no national boundaries, no boundary line has been drawn between this area of the two countries.
