The Canadian Rockies' parks are filled with tourism infrastructure. For many visitors,
the opportunity to vacation in a wilderness setting without sacrificing the amenities of a
resort destination is unequaled. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the town of Banff.

the parks, the city of Calgary is known around the world for the Calgary Stampede, while
smaller towns such as Canmore, Radium Hot Springs, and Invermere thrive. Throughout
the region, campgrounds cater to those who like to sleep under the stars-even if it is in an
RV with all the trimmings.
