JAPSER, Alberta (Rockies.com) – You’ll have to pay to get into Canada’s parks, but the views alone are worth every penny.

The national parks in the Canadian Rockies, such as Banff, Jasper and Waterton, have some of the best kept trails and updated facilities you’ll find at any national park. As you might expect, this level of service costs money, and you’ll be expected to foot part of the bill. Pay via Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Rates are as follows.
