Jasper National Park

Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, covering 10,878 square miles.

It is located near the border with British Columbia, north of Banff National Park and west of Edmonton City, in the center-west of Alberta Province.

The park, founded in 1907, is considered one of the most famous parks in the world, no less, and includes a breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks, endless areas, forests, rivers, lakes and valleys and more.

In addition to independent hiking, Jasper has many bike trails, countless attractions and gems including the Five Lakes Valley and even a cable car that climbs to a mountain at an altitude of over 2,000 meters.

Banff National Park

Canada's first national park was established as early as 1885 not far from the city of Calgary, and covers a huge area of 6,641 square miles.

The park, located on the Rocky Mountain Range and considered the most visited park in the country, has some of the most famous lakes in Canada (including Lewis and Morain) and you can also find wildlife and a wide variety of wildlife, including wild bison.

If you have come this far, do not miss Lake Agnes' tea house - a breathtaking route that lasts between one and two hours, and includes a spectacular panoramic view and an unusual lake next to which lies the famous tea house.

In addition, the Banff National Park has a variety of attractions - for adults and children alike, such as canoeing, horseback riding or an adventurous bike ride.

Yoho (Yoho National Park Of Canada)

Not far from Banff National Park is his little brother Yoho - a small, green park located in British Columbia, considered the smallest of the Rocky Mountain National Reserve.

Like other national parks in Canada, Yoho also has a wide variety of animals, green landscapes and snow-capped mountains, but unlike other parks, most of its visitors are locals rather than tourists.

Aside from spectacular wildlife and scenery, Yoho Park has a variety of lakes, hiking trails, impressive waterfalls (including the third highest waterfall in all of Canada) and even a must-see natural bridge.
