WELCOME

If you are looking for what to do and see in the mountain parks of Western Canada, you’ve come to the right place!

Experiencemountainparks.com is where you & your friends can review and submit your experiences in & around the wilds of the Canadian Rockies.


Have you hiked in Kananaskis, lately? Do you want to know the name of that jaw-dropping mountain peak in Lake Louise? Where can I spot some wildlife near Radium Hot Springs?

Whether you have been to Waterton Lakes National Park or are looking for information about Sun Peaks, make experiencemountainparks.com your first stop, for comprehensive information, important web links, and personal testimonials.


We’re building our reader forum. Have something to contribute? Looking for the insider’s scoop on what to do & where to go? Check out our Community Page.

Need maps of the area? Make sure you pick up a copy of our annual visitors’ guide (also called Experience the Mountain Parks). It contains large user-friendly maps of the region…park by park. It shows you everything – from bus routes in Banff, to campground locations in Kootenay National Park.

And remember, on your next mountain experience, take your camera out of your backpack, capture the moments, and submit them to our annual photo contest. Check out the great prizes we awarded in 2006, 2007 and 2008. You can't win if you don't enter!
