Waterton Lakes NP blends alpine peaks, glacial lakes, waterfalls, and prairie-to-forest valleys. Shoot Table Mountain’s summit views, the sunrise/sunset glow on Waterton Lake, and wildflower meadows near summer hikes. Best light: sunrise for calm water reflections; late fall for dramatic cloud color. Park pass required; timed-entry not typical. Parking is easiest at Waterton townsite lots—arrive early on weekends.
