About Banff
Banff National Park is the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Turquoise-hued Lake Louise reflects towering mountain faces. The Icefields Parkway connects Banff to Jasper, offering some of North America's most stunning driving scenery. Moraine Lake's rocky shoreline, Bow Lake's glacier-fed waters, and countless hiking trails from easy lakeside walks to challenging alpine traverses make Banff a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
