We take snow seriously in Glacier National Park. With more than 400 glaciers & icefields in the park & some of Canada’s most active avalanche areas, Glacier is synonymous with winter. The park is also home to part of the world’s only inland cedar-hemlock rain forest, grizzly bears, mountain goats & hoary marmots. Glacier’s rugged beauty, deep snow & challenging peaks attract outdoor enthusiasts. The park also has a gentler side: quiet, uncrowded campgrounds, picnic areas & interpretive trails. The railway tunnels, bridges & snowsheds of Rogers Pass add to the legendary history of Canada’s second oldest national park.

From glacier-clad peaks to semi-arid grasslands, Kootenay National Park offers visitors a stunning array of landscapes. Linger in forested valleys, watch kokanee spawn in the Kootenay & Vermillion Rivers or behold colour-splashed mineral pools.
Known world-wide for its spectacular sub-alpine wildflower meadows & ancient cedar-hemlock forests. In summer, you can easily reach the park's mountain-top wilderness gardens by driving up the 26 km Meadows in the Sky Parkway, with views of the snow-capped Selkirk & Monashee Mountains on every horizon. In the valley below, tropical migratory birds, beavers & bears inhabit Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk's jungle-like wetlands, while Giant Cedars Boardwalk leads through a towering grove of red cedars, some more than 800 years old. During winter, mountain caribou still roam the forests & meadows of these protected lands.
The name "Yoho" comes from a Cree word expressing awe, which is fitting, as awe-inspiring sights & sounds abound in this national park. 28 peaks preside over gem coloured lakes, roaring rivers, historic railroads & steep rock faces.
