Grizzly bears, elk, mountain goats, and wolves all live in the park. Lake Louise is one of the most visited spots. In winter, the lake freezes solid and people can walk right on top of it. Visitors can hike on trails, soak in natural hot springs, and watch for wildlife.

• The hot springs are pools of warm water that bubble up from deep underground.
• Banff is about the same size as the entire city of Los Angeles!
• The mountains around it are covered in snow for much of the year.
