Last month our writer Scott Balaam flew with KLM to explore what is arguably one of the world’s most naturally beautiful countries – Canada. The first country in the world to create the National Parks Service, Canada’s aim was to create vast areas of recreation and of course to protect their stunningly beautiful wilderness landscapes.
All of Canada’s National Parks are remarkable in their own way, but two of the best (and most popular) are Banff and Jasper both located in Canada’s majestic Rocky Mountains. Scott has been lucky enough to explore many countries around the world but he now counts Canada as one of his favourite travel destinations with memories of the awe-inspiring views still lingering on. Here are his favorite Banff and Jasper National Park views in BIG Pictures…

I flew to Alberta as a guest of KLM UK via their hub at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. My flights to Edmonton were complementary, but return flights with KLM from the UK start from just £599 per person, including taxes. All comments and opinions are, as ever, my own!
