Yoho National Park
Top 3 in Top 10 Best National Parks in Canada
The Rocky Mountains travel through several parks on this list, including Yoho National Park, due to their broad extent. This British Columbia national park, which borders Banff National Park, was founded in 1886, just one year after Banff. Yoho National Park contains many of the iconic elements of the Canadian Rockies, such as magnificent lakes, massive mountains, and numerous hiking opportunities.
The Burgess Shale fossils, which are 508 million years old and predate the dinosaurs, are one of the park's most noteworthy attractions. Of course, with sights like Emerald Lake and Chancellor Peak, there's plenty of jaw-dropping landscape here as well.
