The peaks, valleys, mountain ridges and hills provide a unique shape to this naturally stunning national park. Covering 54.85 km2 (21 sq. mi.), it boasts diverse flora and fauna, with more than 125 bird species and some 20 mammal species including moose and white-tailed deer. The park’s ASTROLab astronomy research centre and observatory are open to the public, providing an impressive blend of activities about the Earth and sky. The park is yours to explore: hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, activities led by nature and astronomy interpreters, and evenings of observing the stars from the sky dome. In winter, after a busy day outdoors and a night of star-gazing, cozy up in an EXP. cabin, rustic shelter or hut. A must!
