Mountain View Travel Guide
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Mountain View, Alberta.
Welcome to Mountain View!
The southern Alberta community of Mountain View might have a tiny population, but its location and surrounding scenery leave the visitor with plenty of things to see and do. Situated only 20 km (12 mi) east of the gorgeous Waterton Lakes National Park, Mountain View serves as a great base from which to explore the park. Visitors can spend the day in the recreational playground that is Waterton Lakes, or with fun local tours and activities such as scenic half and full day trail rides with Mountain Meadow Trail Rides. Visitors who love to shop for one-of-a-kind items can browse local gems such as Caribou Clothes, which specializes in handcrafted shearling sheepskin coats and accessories. The nearby towns of Cardston and Waterton are worth exploring for their array of shops and restaurants, and after a full day touring the area's spectacular scenery, visitors can unwind at night in comfortable accommodations—cozy bed and breakfasts, such as the Rocky Ridge Country Lodge, and rustic cabins are just a couple of the inviting lodging options in Mountain View.Tourist Attractions
