Banff, with towering mountain peaks, massive glaciers, impossibly blue lakes and abundant wildlife, became Canada’s first national park in 1885, and it remains one of the most popular destinations in the country. But this world-famous park is just one attraction in a province filled with natural wonders that include dense forests, sparkling lakes and mysterious badlands concealing the remains of dinosaurs.
