"The United States is known for its lovely national parks. But Canada - that place is like one big park. Nearly half of that huge country is covered by forest, most of it publicly owned and lots available for exploring. Folks who want to experience Canada's wild should beeline to one of its famed preserves. And this month, National Geographic released a handy list of "10 national parks in Canada you need to visit," with details on each place's attractions and best seasons."
"The 'protection of natural spaces across the country is as Canadian as mounted police and maple syrup,' writes the magazine's Heather Greenwood Davis. 'All 10 provinces and three territories are represented within the National Park System. In total, there are 37 national parks, 11 national park preserves and 168 national historic sites.' That all can feel overwhelming, Davis adds, but these '10 distinct parks are the perfect starter list to explore the world's second-largest country.'"
