Stroll the Peace Arch State Park & International Peace Arch

• What it is: The only international monument ever erected in the interest of peace among nations, marking the border between the U.S. and Canada. The 72-foot arch is a major landmark.

• Why it's exciting: This is a truly unique experience where people from both countries can meet in the park grounds without formally crossing customs (though entry and exit rules apply). The park itself is beautifully landscaped with flower beds, including seasonal displays planted to resemble the U.S. and Canadian flags. It’s an iconic, highly photographable, and historically significant location symbolizing two centuries of peace.

• Detail: Park at the state park and walk right up to the arch, taking time to read the inscriptions on the arch structure itself.
