Our favourite National Park. A bit of a drive from Calgary, but so many amazing sites to see: Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls, Wapta Falls, Kicking Horse River (site of up to class 5 white water rafting), Lake O'Hara, Spiral Tunnels, and the cutest little Canadian city... Field, BC.
It may be the smaller of all the parks, but it doesn't disappoint!
