  • Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park
    Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park By Claire Walter o borrow on old Ttravelogue cliché, Alberta’s Banff National Park is study in contrast. Its 2,586 square miles comprise both wilderness and civilization. There are high mountains, deep valleys, endless forests and abundant wildlife. Even though much of it feels and looks remote, it is just 70 miles from Calgary – and the Trans-Canada Highway runs right through it. It contains one large town (Banff), one smaller town (Lake Louise Village), two palatial hotels (the Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise) and three significant downhill ski areas (Ski Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay). It is a park among parks, with Kootenay National Park just to the south, Yoho National Park to the west (and in another province) and Jasper National Park to the north. It is Canada’s oldest national park and also the one with phenomenal snowshoe opportunities. It’s a great destination for a snowshoe getaway or a multi-activity winter vacation with snowshoeing among the options. There’s skiing (Alpine and Nordic), wildlife viewing, spa- hopping and enjoying the shops, galleries, restaurants and nightspots in Banff or quieter Lake 1 Go FartherTM Model: ARTICA™ BACKCOUNTRY q Two-Piece Articulating Frame q Virtual Pivot Traction Cam q Quick-Cinch™ One-Pull Binding q 80% Recyclable Materials, No PVC’s eastonmountainproducts.com ©2010 easton mountain products Louise Village.
