LOCATION
Banff is Canada's first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. The park is a year-round protected wilderness area offering a
rugged alpine beauty in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Banff National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and has
over six thousand sq. km of mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes.
Each year, millions of visitors travel to Banff to marvel at the
emerald waters of Lake Louise, walk amongst the flower-filled fields
at Sunshine Meadows, and drive beneath the towering jagged peaks
lining the Icefields Parkway. The town of Banff is situated just west
of the city of Calgary, home of the world-famous Exhibition and
Stampede.
