GOAT HAUNT, Mont. — As part of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) comprehensive effort to improve the security of our nation's borders while enhancing legitimate travel, CBP has launched the Reporting Offsite Arrival – Mobile (ROAM) app for hikers planning to hike from Canada to the port of Goat Haunt. 

RAOM check in
ROAM app kiosks are available at the
Shoreline Cruise Dock and Waterton
Canada Parks Visitor Center for all
those planning to visit Goat Haunt by
ferry or trail.

Goat Haunt is a remote, seasonal port of entry, located at the south end of Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada.  Goat Haunt can be reached by ferry from the town of Waterton, Alberta, or via hiking trails originating in Canada and the United States.

Hikers planning to hike from Canada to Goat Haunt will be required to use the ROAM app during the remainder of the summer season.

To use the ROAM app, travelers input their biographic information and trip details, then submit their trip for review by a CBP officer. The officer may initiate a video chat to further interview travelers. Once the officer reviews the trip, travelers will receive a push notification and an email with their admissibility decision and next steps, if applicable.

ROAM app kiosks are available at the Shoreline Cruise Dock and Waterton Canada Parks Visitor Center for all those planning to visit Goat Haunt by ferry or trail.

To use ROAM on your mobile device, download the app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Anyone with questions about using the app is encouraged to telephone the Port of Piegan at 406-732-5572.

Visit CBP.gov for more information on the ROAM app.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
