Our first National Park was Banff established in 1885, the number has now grown to 42 in total. We have these parks from the Pacific to the Atlantic and into the far north. They are all gems off wildlife and small islands of refuge for some of the countries most endangered species. I wanted to add at least one photograh from all 42 parks to my theme but sadly some are not well represented here. Thanks to all who photographed and posted these wonderful images on this site.
