Banff National Park

Banff is the oldest and probably the best known of Canada's National Parks, and it's where you can find the two postcard-perfect images of the Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise and the Lake Moraine. Banff is also the most-visited National Park in Canada and some of the more popular hiking trails can seem a bit crowded, especially in the peak summer months. But remember, Banff is much more than its two most famous lakes...it's a massive park where you can really get away from it all. Just leave the car and walk out into the forest and you'll find natural areas that are virtually untouched.

Banff National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, having been founded in 1885, the oldest national park in Canada. It's located in the Canadian Rockies near Calgary, Alberta. These days, the park is a huge (6,641km²) expanse that's perfect for lovers of mountain hiking like me! Also, don't miss the incredible glaciers along the Icefield Parkway.
