Canadian Rockies
The Canadian Rockies contain some of the best impressive scenery in the world. Because of their excepional geological features and unspoiled beauty, the four national parks fo Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, and Yoho, together with British Columbia provincial parks of Hamper, Mount Robson, and Mount Assiniboine, are recognized as a United Nations 'World Heritage Site'. The Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, with its rich and diverse wildlife and outstanding scenery, has earned the same designation. That puts the Canadian Rockies in the same category as the Pyramids, the Acropolis, the Galapagos Islands, and other natural and manmade wonders. Brilliant yellow and blazing gold aren't shades that spring to mind when you envision hiking in the Rockies - unless you're talking about trekking through a valley of alpine larches in the spring. Larch trees turn a beautiful golden-orange colour before they drop their needles. Trails in the Moraine Lake are in Banff National Park are top places to admire this seasonal spectacle. From elegant hotels and lodges, to charming chalets and country inns, to rustic retreats in the backcountry, the Canadian Rockies offers accommodations for every taste and budget.
