Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks

Good to know

Best time to go: May–September
Budget: $$$
Coordinates: Open in maps

Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho, joined by the provincial parks of Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber, form an unbroken sweep of the Canadian Rockies: peaks, glaciers, turquoise lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves. Hidden within lies the Burgess Shale, a fossil bed famous for preserving soft-bodied marine creatures from the dawn of complex life. UNESCO inscribed the contiguous parks as a single World Heritage Site in 1984.
