Hey Noah and others, What length of trip is being looked for? If we were to go to Waterton it would prob be best to do a 2 night 3 day trip because of the length of the drive.
I like the idea of Nordegg because of the proximity. Waterton has the advantage of having well marked trails and campsites, as well as looping trails. I would definitely prefer to not have to back track and instead go over a couple passes. Also I have a car which can take four people. Is anyone else interested in Waterton or have any other suggestions? Ian Curran. Quoting Noah Lucas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hey Ian, I like the sounds of Waterton, I have never been there.
