Banff

Banff is located in Canada's first national park, Banff National Park, established in 1885, the third in the world to be created. The Cave and Basin site in Banff, the only home in the world to the Banff Springs Snail, triggered the creation of Canada's first park, and is now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
