Banff National Park

    Banff National is the most famous park in Canada. Canada has many natural resources and you can get a sample of all of our natural resources in one stop. Banff became a national park in 1833, it was discovered by 3 railroad workers.This park is special because the Canadian part of the Rocky Mountains runs through the park. Banff is also special because it has many glacier fed lakes meaning that the water is fresh water. The weather in the mountains is generally cold in the summer months it ranges from 22 degrees Celsius to -2 degrees Celsius. In the fall months it ranges from 8 degrees to -22 degrees. In the winter the weather can be from -5 degrees to -55 degrees. Other than the cold weather, the parks beauty is one of a kind and i would personally would like to visit Canada's first National park.
