As part of the "Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks," it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984. Covering an area of 6,641 square kilometers, the park features valleys, high mountains, ice fields, rivers, forests, and grasslands, making it a world-class tourist destination. 📌Johnston Canyon Located along the Bow Valley Parkway connecting Banff town and Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon was formed by thousands of years of river erosion, resulting in numerous streams and waterfalls. The canyon has a deep and dramatic terrain—rushing waters in summer and snow-covered in winter. Lush vegetation covers the area; it's verdant and fresh in summer and adorned with sparkling ice formations in winter, each season offering its own unique charm. 📌Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola The Banff Gondola takes just 8 minutes to reach the summit of Sulphur Mountain at 2,281 meters. From the top, enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Banff National Park, Banff town, and the Bow River Valley, showcasing unparalleled Rocky Mountain scenery. The summit features a restaurant and interactive exhibits. With a new dining area, interactive displays, a multisensory theater, and a stunning 360-degree observation deck, the upgraded Banff Gondola experience offers richer sensory enjoyment. 📌Lake Minnewanka Lake Minnewanka is the largest and deepest lake in Banff National Park, stretching 28 kilometers in length and reaching depths of 142 meters. Its name comes from the Stoney Indigenous people, meaning "Spirit of the Waters." The Minnewanka Valley is home to many wildlife species, surrounded by beautiful scenery and unique rock formations. 📌Hoodoos Named for their rock formations resembling mythical creatures and monsters, Hoodoos take hundreds of years to form. This scenic spot combines majestic mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests, creating a landscape that blends grandeur and elegance. 📌Surprise Corner Surprise Corner is an excellent viewpoint for admiring the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel nestled among the mountains. With its rustic appearance partially hidden in the forest, the hotel evokes a mysterious atmosphere. From here, you can fully appreciate the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel—often called the "Castle of the Rockies"—along with the backdrop of Sulphur Mountain. 📌Town of Banff Banff is a town located within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, and one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.
