Top 10 Canadian National Parks
View Original Description
See the Aurora Borealis. Observe Polar Bears. Drive windswept coastline for hundreds of kilometers through forests dotted with serene lakes, along desolate beaches and wildlife habitat. Cycle from one observation point, where watching whales frolic is common, to another where statuesque Moose put in regular appearances. Ski, skate, snowboard or snowshoe; ride in a dogsled. Trek on a glacier. Go Birding while biking or snorkel in the shadow of towering mountain peaks. Tackle wild rivers in a kayak, canoe or whitewater raft. Explore a landscape formed over 450 million years ago. Do it all in the confines of Canada’s National Park system and then you’ll find you have only scratched the surface.
Canada, with its unspoiled landscape and sparse population has been vigilant about preserving its wild and pristine regions as part of one of the world’s finest national parks systems. Located in every province and territory of Canada, the system was developed and is maintained to offer a representative sampling of the natural landscapes and wonders that abound in this resource rich country located in the far regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The National Parks of Canada cover a massive amount of territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts stretching into the Arctic zone. The parks protect ecosystems and habitats, harbor wildlife and provide for rich experiences for visitors whether sight-seeing day trips or outward bound weeks-long backcountry adventures. From Canada’s first National Park, Banff National Park and its mountain treasures on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains to the smallest, the windswept pine forests of St. Lawrence Islands National Park to the largest, Wood Buffalo National Park and to one of the newest, Ivvavic National Park, a calving ground for Caribou, Canada’s National Parks offer something for everyone.
We’ve attempted to identify the Top 10 Canadian National Parks not as the best, necessarily, but as a representative sampling of the wealth and diversity of experiences available. Likewise, we have tried to identify parks in as broad a selection of Canada's regions as possible. We invite you to add the Top 10 Canadian National Parks to your list and begin to reap the rich rewards and life-lasting memories that await those choosing to visit.
