Banff National Park – Alberta
Founded in 1885, Banff is Canada’s oldest national park and a World Heritage Site. It’s home to bighorn sheep, elk, deer, grizzly and black bears, coyotes, fox, wolves, and more.
Like other wild animal-teeming national parks, Banff has strict rules about wildlife watching, so make sure you know those before you go, both for your own safety and for the wellbeing of the animals.
Banff also offers plenty of opportunities to take a break from animal-spotting with hiking, fishing, cycling, and paddling, historic caves, museums, and hot springs.
