Far to the Canadian west, the Rocky Mountain range is home to some of the Maple Nation's most famous national parks. The Canadian Rocky Mountain parks are on UNESCO's World Heritage List for their outstanding features.

Glaciers, fascinating blue lakes, mighty waterfalls and snow-capped mountain peaks offer an unparalleled variety of activities.

Not to be forgotten is the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park.

Those exploring the sheer magnitude of the region should not miss paying proper tribute to the heroic pioneers and heroes: the Canadian Pacific Railway.
