from The Long View

An English-language deep dive into Canada's Banff National Park — one of the most visually stunning natural wonders in North America. From six-hundred-million-year-old seafloor sediments to three railway workers accidentally discovering a hot spring in 1883 and triggering the birth of Canada's entire national park system; from the physics behind the lakes' impossible blue-green colour to the accelerating retreat of the glaciers — this is a travel guide that leaves you never confused in front of another Banff interpretive sign.
