Western Canada: Alberta’s National Parks
Alberta. The name alone is tantamount to soaring mountain vistas, sparkling alpine lakes and dense forestry. Why? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that Alberta is home to some of the world’s most famous (and most beautiful) National Parks.
You see, this is the birthplace of the Canadian National Park, and with so much incredible scenery to preserve, it’s no surprise that Alberta’s parks cover around 64,831 square kilometres. That’s an area twice the size of Belgium, and then some. Starting with Banff, Alberta’s most popular offering, here’s a list of our favourite National Parks in the province.
