<STRONG>Goat Haunt and Backcountry Customs Regulations.</STRONG> From the National Park Service brochure: People in tour boats and private boats arriving from Waterton Lakes National Park to Goat Haunt are not required to clear customs and immigration unless they travel beyond the immediate shore area of the Ranger Station. Those returning on the same boat will not be considered to be seeking admission into the United States. All hikers crossing the International Boundary from Canada are considered to be applying for admission to the United States, and are required to report to Park Rangers at Goat Haunt for inspection. Only citizens of Canada and citizens or Legal Resident Aliens of the United States of America, who have cleared customs and immigration at the Goat Haunt Ranger Station, will be allowed to travel into the United States beyond Goat Haunt. There are restrictions on all backcountry travel from the United States into Canada, within the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. For more information, please contact the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency in advance of any trip at (403) 653-3535. For specific requirements on crossing the border from the United States into Canada, call (250) 887-3413. For information on crossing from Canada into the United States, call (406) 889-3865. <BR>

<BR> I have read a guide book that said that a northbound hiker that enters Canada <STRONG>can not </STRONG>use the East Park Shuttle Bus to return to the US. I amusing the East Park Shuttle to go from East Glacier Lodge to Prince of Wales stop in Waterson national Park. I will look up the other bus company in Canada that <STRONG>has to be used to return south to get into the US at Chief Mtn.</STRONG><BR>

(or Rambler)?- You helped me at Crazy Crook - you helped me at Grants. What about Wyoming? I'd like to go north from Encampment or from Rawlins to South Pass. I am not worried about the CDT, but rather where to stash my Toyota. Any trail angels in southern Wyoming?
