National Park. See YELLOWSTONE, and YOSEMITE. In Canada a domain 26 miles by 10 in extent has been set aside as a national park at Banff in Alberta (by rail 562 miles NE. of Vancouver and 920 W. by N. of Winnipeg). It embraces one of the most beautiful sections of the Rocky Mountains, contains hot sulphur-springs, has a handsome railway hotel, and is popular as a pleasure-resort. Roger's Pass, 135 miles to the west, is also reserved as a government park. See also NIAGARA.
