All National Parks In Canada Are Breathtaking
By Genevieve Thomson
All national parks from Canada are beautiful and intriguing,
but they are not all the same. They are almost as broad
and diverse as the country’s borders. There are
so many choices and each park is more beautiful than
the next.
Seeing all of Canada’s national parks would be
a time consuming and expensive venture, to review your
options, here are three of the national parks that you
absolutely should not miss.
Feels Like The Scottish Highlands
Look out for Cape Breton Highlands at Cape Breton in
Nova Scotia. Driving along the Cabot Trail that skirts
the rocky cliffs of the northern coast of Cape Breton,
you feel like you stepped out of North America and into
the Scottish Highlands.
What you have to look forward to in this Canadian national
park are breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, rolling
green mountains, steep roads, deep valleys, and enough
scenery to fill a photo album (or your digital memory
card).
The Cape Breton Highlands are also home to several
family-friendly trails and beaches, and is the location
of the best public golf course in Canada, the Highland
Links.
The General Grant Trees Is 2,000 Years Old
Of all national parks, the Cape Breton Highlands National
Park should be seen to be appreciated. Please visit
your national parks website (www.capebretonhighlands.com)
for more information or check out the Parks Canada website
at www.pc.gc.ca.
The First Canadian National Park
Banff National Park, Banff, Alberta. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains along the border of
Alberta and British Columbia just an hour and a half-drive
from Calgary, you will find the first Canadian national
park and the third of all national parks worldwide ever
established.
This 6641 square kilometer (2564 square mile) park
boasts some of the most impressive peaks of the Rockies
(Castle Mountain), year-round refreshing hot springs,
world class downhill skiing (Lake Louise), renowned
glaciers (Columbia Icefield), and wildlife. This popular
park is a must-see destination for anyone who enjoys
skiing, hiking, or just relaxing.
All national parks in this area of Canada have the
Rocky Mountains as the backdrop to their canvas but
only this one can claim to be the first of all Canadian
national parks. So be the first in your community to
explore this great park and please visit your national
parks website (www.banffnationalpark.com)
to plan your trip today.
The Only Inland Temperate Forest In The World
Mount Revelstoke National Park, Revelstoke, British
Columbia. Mount Revelstoke stands on the west side to the Rocky
Mountains and is where you can find the world’s only
inland temperate rainforest. Here you will see some
of the oldest natural environments in the world.
The Giant Cedars Nature Trail is a popular one that
trails for a little less than half a mile through the
park. Giant cedars over five hundred years old stand
tall, some as thick as your automobile.
Look Down On The Plains
The park itself is split into three areas to visit
based on each zone’s elevation: Rainforest, Snow
Forest, and No Forest. There’s a definite chill
in the air the higher you travel up Mount Revelstoke.
At its highest point, looking down on the plains of
forests is a breathtaking sight.
For more information, please visit your national parks
website for Mount Revelstoke at www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/bc/revelstoke.
Parks that are located in Canada are quite similar
to all national parks, in that they offer a calming
refuge from the sometimes hectic world of everyday life.
Above are just a few of the things you will find when
you take the time to see all that is in Canada. If you
want more information, you can check out www.pc.gc.ca.
