Jasper National Park is the biggest of the parks in the Canadian Rockies and unsurprisingly has a diverse range of activities and landscapes, from the Miette Hot Springs to the Saskatchewan Glacier. If you want to try and catch a glimpse of local wildlife, bears and moose are both found in Mount Robson and Yoho National Parks, but of course, be careful and respectful if you want to have an incident-free holiday anywhere that bears roam freely. Don’t approach them and definitely don’t feed them.
One of the lesser-known National Parks, Kootenay is a stunning spot awash with wildlife spotting opportunities, with the added advantage of less crowds. Here you will find hot springs not to mention breathtaking scenery from every angle.
Visiting the Canadian Rockies for even an extended period of time will still leave you having not quite managed to fit everything in - there’s just so much to see and do. But don’t worry about that, it’s just an excuse to starting planning your next trip.
