Founded in
1885 after the discovery of the Cave and Basin Hot Springs, Banff
National Park is Canada's oldest and most famous national park.
Each year, millions of visitors come to Banff to marvel at the
emerald waters of Lake Louise, walk amongst the flower-filled
heavens at Sunshine Meadows, and drive beneath the towering jagged
peaks lining the Icefields Parkway.
Snow-capped
peaks, glistening glaciers and sweeping vistas are just one part
of the allure of Banff National Park. You can enjoy all the comforts
of home in the town of Banff and the village of Lake Louise, or
step out into the wilderness and the home of some of North America's
wildest creatures, including grizzly bears, caribou and wolves.
