Learn More about Canadian Rockies

The Canadian Rockies are a true sanctuary of nature, where peaks, forests, glaciers, lakes and rivers are home to numerous species of wildlife. Banff and Jasper National Parks are the most visited in the park. The landscapes of Moraine Lake, the turquoise of Peyto Lake, the bravura of Sunwapta Falls and the spectacular grizzly bears are hard to forget. In western Canada, about an eight-hour drive from Vancouver and only one hour from Calgary, lies Canada's Rocky Mountains, divided between the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Here, Canada's Rocky Mountains Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and is made up of four National Parks: Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho; and three provincial parks: Hamber, Mount Robson and Mount Assiniboine. Mountains, rivers, waterfalls, forests, glaciers and enormous biodiversity await you. If we focus on Banff and Jasper, the most visited parks, you'll need at least 10 days of your time to enjoy them properly. Take it easy along the Icefields Parkway, the 232-kilometre-long road that connects them, through the mountains, into the valleys, around the lakes and on some of the hikes. Do it, and then tell us whether or not it's one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, having been declared as such in 1885, and covers an area of 6,642 km². The town of Banff itself, to the south, can be a good base from which to visit its nearest attractions before heading north to Jasper. To start with the most important, your first stop should be Lake Louise. Easily accessible from the town of Lake Louise, this is possibly the most visited lake in the park, though not the most spectacular. Nearby are the smaller and quieter Agnes and Mirror Lakes, but what you really can't miss is Moraine Lake, the most iconic lake in all the Canadian Rockies.
