In 1932 Water­ton Lakes Nation­al Park (Alber­ta, Cana­da) was com­bined with the Glac­i­er Nation­al Park (Mon­tana, Unit­ed States) to form the world’s first Inter­na­tion­al Peace Park. Sit­u­at­ed on the bor­der between the two coun­tries and offer­ing out­stand­ing scenery, the park is excep­tion­al­ly rich in plant and mam­mal species as well as prairie, for­est, and alpine and glacial fea­tures.
