Banff National Park, Alberta

If you"re looking for a destination where epic mountain views and outdoor adventure collide, Banff National Park in Alberta is the place to be. Established in 1885, it"s the oldest national park in Canada and offers a blend of towering peaks, glacial lakes and wide open spaces. In winter, the park is transformed into a snowy paradise, as seen in today"s image. Frozen lakes like Lake Louise turn into skating rinks, and skiers flock to the slopes of Sunshine Village and Lake Louise Ski Resort.
