Banff National Park

Banff National Park covers thousands of square kilometres of Rocky Mountain landscapes, including iconic lakes, glaciers, canyons and subalpine meadows. The park’s infrastructure—scenic drives, trailheads and interpretive centres—makes it accessible for visitors of all levels while protecting a diverse ecosystem and abundant wildlife.

From canoeing on turquoise waters to long backcountry treks, the park offers experiences year-round: wildflower meadows and lakes in summer, and skiing and frozen waterfall walks in winter. Expect stunning photographic opportunities, frequent wildlife sightings and the need to plan around seasonal closures and park passes.
