Sly - <BR>
We took the shuttle to Waterton in '07 to start the GDT and talked to the shuttle people <BR>
about getting a shuttle back to the States from Waterton when we were done in 6 or 8 weeks. <BR>
We were told that they could drop us in Canada (one way fare) but that they couldn't bring <BR>
us back across the border as a one way trip when we returned. We solved the problem by <BR>
hitching - took us 3 rides to get from Pincher Creek to East Gloacier. That translates to 2 <BR>
or 3 rides to get from Waterton to East Clacier. <BR>
<BR>
Or - you can take a taxi from Waterton to the border crossing, get out and walk across the<BR>
border and catch the shuttle from Chief Mt. As I recall, the taxi can't take you across the <BR>
border either. But at least it can get you to Chief Mt. - where you WILL have to deal with <BR>
the border patrol. And that WILL require either a passport or a DL and birth certificate. <BR>

<TD style="FONT-FAMILY: inherit" vAlign=top><BR>I am planning a hike, starting the first week of Aug., to begin in Glacier Park. I have found, online, a shuttle to the Prince of Wales Hotel.
