Banff National Park
Top 1 in Top 10 Best National Parks in Canada
Banff National Park is Canada's best-known and most-visited national park, so it's no wonder that it's at the top of this list. This magnificent area of wildness amid Alberta's Rocky Mountains is a renowned and famous Canadian monument. Banff is not only Canada's oldest national park, having been established in 1885, but it is also part of the Canadian Rockies UNESCO World Heritage site.
The contrast between the snow-capped summits of the Rockies and the stunning blues of lakes like Lake Louise and Moraine Lake is what makes Banff so distinctive. Banff National Park is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking and horseback riding opportunities in the summer and winter activities such as skiing and snowboarding.
