Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks

Alberta and British Columbia

Date of Inscription: 1984 (ext. 9 Dec 1990)

Some of the best-known mountain scenery on Earth is concentrated in a set of seven parks in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Indeed, in much of the world, mention of Canada evokes images of snow-capped peaks and chateauesque hotels in parks named Banff or Jasper. More than nine million people annually visit the seven preserves along the Alberta-British Columbia border.
