Big and Beautiful: Must-See Photos of the Canadian Rockies

The Canadian Rockies are like the bigger, wilder brother to its American brother in the south. Both regions are spectacular, of course, but there’s something a little more dramatic about the Canadian side: its peaks are more jagged, its rivers run wider, and there are more glaciers to be found.

You could spend months exploring the 900-mile-long Canadian Rockies’ national and provincial parks for their climbing, hiking, rafting, and myriad other activities. If you want a glimpse of what’s out there before you plan, here’s an inspiring series of Flickr photos that demonstrate what the mountain range has to offer.
