Banff, established in 1885, is Canada's first national park and spans 6,641 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, rich with diverse wildlife and numerous glacial features. Jasper, larger and slightly to the north, covers around 11,000 square kilometers and offers similarly breathtaking landscapes. Both parks are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and are renowned for their scenic roadways, including the Icefields Parkway that stretches 230 kilometers, connecting the two parks with stunning views of the surrounding peaks, ancient glaciers, and sweeping valleys.
