Banff National Park
Established in 1885, Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park. The Canadian Rockies are impressive and the glacier-fed lakes in the park are dazzling. This UNESCO world heritage site is a photographer's dream location.
Take the kids to the Banff Park Museum. It is the oldest natural history museum in western Canada.

Cave and Basin National Historic Site in Banff is outstanding! Standing at this lookout point I had the feeling that I had stepped back in time to a prehistoric age. We stopped here on our way back through the park on our way home from our stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, where we celebrated the twin's 18th birthdays.
