Waterton Lakes National Park Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Waterton lies in Alberta’s southwestern corner, 130km from Lethbridge and 156km from Calgary. The one road entrance into the park is in its northeast corner along Hwy 5. Most visitors coming from Glacier and the USA reach the junction with Hwy 5 via Hwy 6 (Chief Mountain International Hwy) from the southeast. From Calgary, to the north, Hwy 2 shoots south toward Hwy 5 into the park. From the east, Hwy 5, through Cardston, heads west and then south into the park.
