While beauty is subjective, Banff National Park in Alberta is widely considered the most beautiful and iconic park in Canada. As Canada's first national park, it is a world-renowned masterpiece of the Canadian Rockies, featuring the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, both of which are fed by glaciers and surrounded by dramatic, snow-capped peaks. In 2026, Banff remains a "World Wonder" destination, offering over 1,000 miles of hiking trails, the steamy Upper Hot Springs, and the scenic Icefields Parkway, which is often called the most beautiful drive in the world. For those who prefer coastal beauty, Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland is a strong contender with its ancient fjords and unique geology. However, the sheer scale of the mountains, the vibrant blue of the alpine lakes, and the abundance of wildlife (including grizzly bears and elk) make Banff the definitive "must-see" for anyone seeking Canada's most spectacular natural landscape. It is the perfect blend of rugged wilderness and high-end amenities found in the charming town of Banff itself.
