Banff National Park Canada

If sparkling lakes reflecting rugged mountains is your thing, you need to head directly to Banff .    Different than USA parks, Banff incorporates a wonderful city (also call Banff) where elk roam the streets.   A superb highway runs down the middle of the Banff valley but you need to control you head from twisting off its neck as you take in everything there is to see.  Banff is close to Calgary and about 300 miles north of US Glacier National Park.
