Distance: 48 miles • Elevation Change: Browning 4376 ft.-Canadian Border 4457 ft. The most northern section of US Route 89 runs close to the mountains and provides access to the east side of Glacier National Park. Special Attractions: Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park: Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada was established in 1895 and the adjoining Glacier National Park in the USA in 1910. In 1932 the two parks were linked as the world’s first International Peace Park. The parks are renowned for their glacier-carved mountains and deep lakes. Here at the narrowest point in the Rocky Mountains, ecosystems from the Pacific Northwest, the northern forests and the Great Plains converge to form a unique community of plants and animals found no where else in North America. The park is one of the many features included in the Crown of the Continent Geotourism area, a joint effort of the National Geographic Society and the people of British Columbia, Alberta and Montana.
