Montana to Canada Border Crossing - Coutts
On our way into Canada, one route we're considering is the 15N thru Coutts crossing. I read that it is one of the busier commercial crossings. I'm assuming the commercial group is separate from the me...

We ended up taking the route to 89 after we left Helena, MT on 4/30. We crossed over around noon at Piegan, MT crossing. Nice lady, maybe 3 mins of questions, and then she wished us a good visit while in Canada.
We then stayed in Cardston just North of the border at Lee Creek Campground, so that we could do a day visit to Waterton NP. Lee Creek does was really not supposed to open until 5/1, but they said if we did not mine having water we could stay. Site electric and sewage were all available, and as it turned out, they had the water on by our second day. The park was empty except for two other campers - so very nice stay next to a nice creek with a small hiking trail. (We were spoiled, as with the park just about empty - it seemed wide open and very spacious... and Waterton Lakes NP was mostly still closed down but is just a spectacular location.
We can sure see why soo many people have posted to take the time to enjoy what Canada has too... We've been here less than 3 full days, and we've both agreed to make a Canada only trip in 2016!
Thanks again to all that responded, and best to all,
