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 start you off here are three of the national parks that you absolutely should not miss.

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.

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. 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.
