8. Banff National Park, Alberta: 3.3 million

Canada's first national park is still its most visited. The 2,500-acre gem in the Canadian Rockies includes myriad mountain attractions, from glaciers to meadows to rock-spire "Hoodoos;" two towns within the park, Lake Louise and Banff, offer museums, galleries and other forms of cultural respite from the expanse of raw nature. Several major ski resorts, including the Lake Louise resort, lie within the park's bounds, and according to a spokesperson for the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, their attendance is included in the park service's count.
