Banff National Park Travel Guide Overview
Banff National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site found in Alberta, Canada and is considered as the oldest national park in Canada. Officially opened in 1885, it was originally called the Banff Hot Springs Reserve, as the area is home to hot springs. Since this national park is located in the Canadian Rockies, its snowy slopes and glaciers are excellent sites for winter sports and activities.
