"Wildflower tour in Waterton. I had booked this tour and it was fantastic! Our guide Heather took us on an adventure into the beauty of wildflowers we encountered on our walk. She helped us understand the rare ecosystem of Waterton and the types of plants that call Waterton home. This tour was about slowing down and exploring at your own pace all the beauty Waterton has to offer. I highly recommend this tour with Uplift Adventures!!!!"
