In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots.

Banff National Park is a vast untamed territory that begs to be explored. Wild animals roam the valleys, eagles soar over the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and pure water streams into rivers from 1,000 glaciers. Hundreds of years ago aboriginal natives first discovered its beauty, quickly followed by explorers, map makers, and mountain climbers. Even the odd celebrity or royal type have popped by. And now you.

Climb the same mountains, paddle the rivers, and inhale the air. That's pure alpine. The sheer number of adventures, both indoors and out, is as hard to count as the peaks stretching into the distance. Ski, shop or spa, learn local history at museums and art galleries or wander down a hiking trail or two. In Banff and Lake Louise the possibilities are limitless.

Encircled by fresh and pure beauty, it's a vibrant place that defies stereotypes. It's got glitz and granola, wildlife, and sometimes wilder night life. Moms and Dads jog past pushing baby trailers. Seniors share tales on park benches. Genuine people live here.

Banff and Lake Louise are unique and authentic. They're dynamic areas with extraordinary natural beauty, wide-open spaces and where people feel free. Life is celebrated here through the natural environment, wildlife, plant life, and clean water.

The community includes every one from ardent athletes to accomplished artists. It ranges from urban professionals who dropped out of the mainstream for lifestyle reasons, to former ski bums who grew up, went "straight" and got full-time jobs. There's a lively international expatriate collection of college-aged kids who are here for a good time, but perhaps not a long time.

The exclusive views have enticed Hollywood and Buckingham Palace, Arabian sheiks and billionaire tech wizards to relax and rejuvenate. Languages, styles and cultures from around the world mingle on the sidewalks. Take a seat on a bench or a sunny restaurant patio and engage in some head-turning, people watching.

However, the handful of deer and elk who brave the streets of Banff and Lake Louise are the real celebrities here, with their own tourist paparazzi clicking away as the animals serenely stroll past. Like most celebs, they too get snarly when a camera comes too close.

But most of the wildlife in this vast park, including moose, grizzly bears, wolf, and big horn sheep, placidly spend most of their time out in the vast Banff National Park wilderness. Hunters are not allowed in this protected World Heritage site, so animals only have to watch out for their natural predators.

Three million visitors from around the globe each year can't be wrong you just know the place has got to be special. Generations of shared memories have brought children and grandchildren back to see for themselves the images in the family photo album.
