Extreme beauty, jagged ice-capped mountains, sparkling turquoise lakes reflecting everything in site, glaciers, waterfalls, and variety of wildlife lure 4 million visitors a year to Banff National Park. Banff is Canada's oldest national park, opened in 1885. Banff was named a UNESCO World Heritage site for protecting one of the earth's most scenic treasures. Visitors can see why.
Lake Louise is breathtaking; a turquoise lake surrounded by evergreens with views of the Victoria Glacier, Lake Louise also offers first class accommodations, a dip in the natural hot springs, and some of the finest skiing in the world. Glacier tours are available on the Columbia Icefield as you travel the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper.
I have visited Canadian Rockies in the Fall of 2008. These are the photos from that trip.
