Banff National Park

Established in 1885, Banff National Park is a core component of the "Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks" World Natural Heritage site. Located in the middle section of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, the park features a varied landscape of valleys, high mountains, icefields, rivers, forests, and grasslands. Emerald glacial lakes are set like jewels among the dark green coniferous forests, earning the park its reputation as the soul of the Rocky Mountains. One of the park's signature views is Lake Louise, whose water takes on a distinctive emerald green due to glacial minerals; backed by Victoria Glacier, the lakeside hiking trails lead to mountain tea houses and higher viewpoints. Moraine Lake, set against the Valley of the Ten Peaks, mirrors the spire-shaped peaks on its surface and once appeared on Canada's old twenty-dollar bill. Bow Valley Parkway is a classic scenic drive in the park, where bighorn sheep, elk, and other wildlife are often seen along the way, and a slow drive in fall is especially rewarding. The Icefields Parkway extends north from near Lake Louise, linking glacial lakes such as Peyto Lake and Bow Lake, with views of multiple glaciers in the valleys along the route. Banff Town is located in the heart of the park and is the main visitor community within it, offering distant views of Sulphur Mountain from town. A ride on the Sulphur Mountain cable car takes you to the summit observation deck, where on clear days you can look down over the Bow Valley and the outlines of distant peaks. The park also features natural hot spring pools, and soaking in them after outdoor activities is a choice many visitors make. Come in winter, and you can experience alpine skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and more, with the frozen lake and snow-capped mountains enhancing each other's beauty.
