Eight Fun Things To Do

(Continued from pg 17) Take the paved Kootenai Brown Trail to Red Rock Parkway, through to Coppermine Creek Day Use Area - 12 km one way. The winding and rolling road is super scenic and fun to ride. Wishbone Trail is a popular mountain bike trail on the east side of Waterton.

5. Go Horseback Riding with Alpine Stables

If you’d like a taste of what life was like when Waterton was first settled, go on a trail ride! Alpine Stables offers hour-long to full-day trail rides for new and experienced riders aged 5 and up. The Barrus and Watson families have lots to share: their local knowledge and their great love of this land “where the mountains meet the prairies.”

6. Relax, Rejuvenate, & Revitalize at Waterton’s Premier Day Spa

Spoil yourself and visit the Serenity Spa. Their treatments are designed to restore energy, promote well-being and enhance your time here. Whether you have come to to play hard, hike our Rocky Mountain trails, stroll around the village or take in a tour, when you come to Serenity Spa, we shift your focus – relax, revitalize and reconnect with yourself.

7.

Discover the Night Sky with a Dark Sky Tour

Waterton is an amazing place for spectacular stargazing and astrophotography thanks to its Dark Sky status. Not sure where to go or what to look for? Why not attend a Parks Canada theater program? Or sign up for a guided interpretive stargazing tour with Dark Sky Guides. Your friendly, local guides will bring the telescopes and cocoa.

8. Golf

Waterton Lakes Golf Course is a beautiful and challenging Stanley Thompson-inspired course. In addition to panoramic mountain views and great wildlife viewing opportunities, the course offers club and cart rentals, a pro shop, practice green, and licensed clubhouse. This is perhaps one of Waterton’s best kept secrets (affordable lunch spot with great patio).

Bonus, put that wind to good use and fly a kite! Hay Barn Day Use Area has wide, open spaces to run about. Whether you come for the weekend or a week, Waterton’s scenery and friendly locals – of the human and furry variety – will have you yearning to come back soon.
