Brief introduction of banff national park

Banff National Park (English: Banff National Park, French: Le Parc national Banff), built in 1885, is the oldest national park in Canada. It is located in the northern section of the Rocky Mountains, about110-180km west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The park covers an area of 664 1 km2, covering glaciers, ice fields, pine forests and mountains. The Icefield Highway starts from Lake Louis and connects to Jasper National Park in the north. To the west is the provincial forest and Youhe National Park, to the south is adjacent to Courtney National Park, and Kananaskis town is located in the southeast. The main business district in the park is Banff Town in Republic Valley. As a part of "Canadian Rocky Mountain Natural Park Group", it is listed on the World Heritage List together with other national and provincial parks in Canadian Rocky Mountain. The Canadian Pacific Railway was the early road to Banff. Pacific Railway Group built Banff Hot Spring Hotel and Lake Louis Castle Hotel in the park, which attracted a large number of tourists. At the beginning of the 20th century, during the First World War and the Great Depression, the road leading to Banff was built. Since 1960, the park has been open to the public all the year round, and the number of tourists reached 5 million in 1990. Millions of tourists cross this trans-Canada highway. As Banff National Park is one of the most popular parks in the world, the ecosystem has begun to be affected and destroyed. From 65438 to the mid-1990s, the Canadian Parks Authority launched a two-year research project and promulgated a series of measures to control the number of tourists and protect the ecological environment.
