Most visited national parks in Canada

Banff is the most visited national park in Canada, with over four million visits a year, more than the next several parks combined, and Jasper is second. Both lie on main highways, and a share of their traffic is simply passing through. Kootenay, Bruce Peninsula and Elk Island follow among the parks in the catalogue. At Banff the pressure shows at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, where personal vehicles are now banned or turned away and shuttles must be booked.
