Did you do advanced search for any of these places.
ie. there is a trip report running, which includes Waterton:

What to do?
Hike every day.
There is hiking for weeks in Waterton area. We much prefer that to Glacier too. Be sure to take at least a portion of the Carthew-Alderson trail. We'll be doing Glacier/Waterton, again, next year for 2-3 weeks.
I assume you have your passports?

Have passports - natch - we frequently travel across many borders. Last major trip was UK-across Europe to Moscow (2007) which took six weeks. We like backpacking

Thanks for clearing that up; strange that I couldn't find it in a search. Have been through that area a couple of times and it is absolutely one of my favorites!

Hey Brett - we're leaving No. Wyoming in a few days - how about joining us on the trip?

You're ahead of us. We day hike, every day, but never wanted to carry the weight of backpack gear. But, we've missed out on camping experience out in the backcountry.

We left real early this morning and are sitting in the Grand Forks Campground. The trip outta here was with light fog in the morning. Currently 58F - a pleasant breeze, but the humidity is high just like home.
Next stop is Ft. Berthold - Four Bears Casino in New Town. Throw a few coins in the slots and do a little walleye fishing. Then across Montana to Browning, then up to Waterton for some serious backcountry hiking.

The trip thru Waterton was great - well worth it. Then over Crowsnest and up thru Cranbrook, Ft.Steele, Banff, Jasper and continuing on to Hinton and now in Edmonton.
This morning the two itinerant and very tired travelers, Capt. Abe and myself are sitting in the Cafe Sorrenteno at the West Edmonton Mall while the ladies shop. Of course they shopped all yesterday while we amused ourselves at the pool hall. I think I need a trailer on my trailer!
From here in a day or so down to Calgary then straight across Canada to Winnipeg, then south to home. Capt. Abe says he's going to California from here and it was a pleasure to have him as our guide.
