Canada's first national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site protecting iconic Rocky Mountain landscapes, glaciers, and diverse ecosystems

Banff National Park

Banff National Park is Canada's first national park, established in 1885 as the Banff Hot Springs Reserve and later expanded through the Rocky Mountains Park Act of 1887. Located in Alberta's Rocky Mountains approximately 110-180 kilometres west of Calgary, the park encompasses 6,641 square kilometres of mountainous terrain featuring glaciers, ice fields, dense coniferous forests, and alpine landscapes. The park is part of the larger Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, recognized by UNESCO in 1984 for outstanding natural universal values including mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons, and fossil beds. The main commercial centre is the town of Banff in the Bow River valley, while the village of Lake Louise serves as another key access point. The park shares boundaries with Yoho National Park to the west, Kootenay National Park to the south, and Jasper National Park to the north, creating a contiguous protected corridor through the Canadian Rockies.
