My favourite National Park in North America is Waterton Glacier International Peace Park.
Parks Canada: Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada
United States National Park Service: Glacier National Park
One of our top 10 hikes in the world makes an international circuit of the two parks.
Glacier North Circle
- 7 days, 6 nights recommended

yellow marks the Highline Trail / Ptarmigan Tunnel, North Circle

That’s your best hike in the area.
If you would rather day hike the best resource online is …
