| There is, although it is sometimes unstaffed. Also you need to stop in and register for a backcountry or camping pass anyway. |

| Thanks. Do you know if beef is allowed to cross the border? I know a few years they were confiscating any beef product. |

Two years ago drove right in across the border, expecting security but there was none. Went for a drive along the roads and then out again.

| Pretty sure they do not allow you to take beef cattle through the border. |

| There are no border guards there, and no official border crossing, but both the US and Canada Park rangers seem to keep a pretty close eye on things. That said, nobody has ever asked about my food. |

| The border crossing is "unmanned" at Hozomeen as the road to the south ends about 1 km or so past the border. There are a number of staff associated with the Hozomeen compund working for the US NPS, including maintenance and law enforcement rangers. all of the regular customs rules apply - not "supposed" to cross the border with potatoes, etc, etc. Not sure about the beef thing, but don't expect the staff there to make a big deal about it. |
