Power and beauty in the woods.
Amontage depicting the history and development of Banff NationalPark set among the park’s majestic mountains and lakes.
The story of Canada’s first national park began with the transcontinental railway and three of its workerswho stumbled upon hot springs at the foot of Sulphur Mountain inAlberta’s Bow Valley.
Their finding inspired a plan to protect the area as a park and tourist destination “for all people” and in1885, a 26 sq km (10 sq mi) area around the hot springs was officially designated as Banff Hot SpringsReserve. Two years later, the reserve was enlarged and renamed Rocky Mountains Park of Canada untilits current name was officially adopted in 1930.
Today, Banff National Park incorporates 6,641 sq km (2,564 sq mi) of spectacular mountains, valleys,glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers that welcome 8 million visitors a year—adventurers who come fromaround the world to experience the power and beauty of Canada’s majestic backcountry.
