Canada
With a vast land area of almost 10 million square kilometres and a population of just over 30 million people, Canada has a lot of wide-open spaces with huge tracts of uninhabited countryside. Extending for 2000 kilometres (1200 miles) from the Yukon southwards through Alberta and British Columbia, the Canadian Rocky Mountains include some of the best territory for hiking, trekking and even family group exploration. One of the most accessible parts of the range is located at the western edge of the state of Alberta, close to the town of Calgary. Here, there is a wealth of beautiful mountain scenery, with endless forest, extensive tundra, powerful glaciers, cascading rivers and numerous 4000 metre (13,000ft) peaks. This part of Canada was the home of a number of Indian tribes, including the Iroquois and Cree. Towns such as Banff and Jasper have a rich history of pioneering, dating back to the early years of the 19th century and the arrival of the first white hunters and fur-traders.
