Banff National Park features a big chunk of the Canadian Rockies range from the crest of the Continental Divide along the British Columbia-Alberta border on the west, nearly to the edge of the prairies on the east.
This tremendous mountain terrain provides great rock climbing and mountaineering in around Banff, Lake Louise and the other towns of Western Canada.
Local climbers distinguish between the higher, often glaciated alpine ranges along the continental divide, and the slightly lower, drier ranges to the east. The Trans Canada Highway provides the main east-west route through the park with access to the town and service centers of Banff and Lake Louise.
A park highway, which parallels the main Divide Range from Lake Louise to Jasper, offers some of the most spectacular alpine peaks and glaciers on the continent.
