The park was established in 1885, and it is home to a variety of ecosystems, including glaciers, forests, and alpine meadows. The park is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including bears, elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats.

Banff National Park is a popular destination for hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing. The park also offers a variety of guided tours, such as wildlife safaris and ice climbing expeditions.
