Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks

Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks

The contiguous national parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho, as well as the Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks, studded with mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves, form a striking mountain landscape. The Burgess Shale fossil site, well known for its fossil remains of soft-bodied marine animals, is also found there.

Parcs des montagnes Rocheuses canadiennes

Les parcs nationaux contigus de Banff, Jasper, Kootenay et Yoho, ainsi que les parcs provinciaux du mont Robson, du mont Assiniboine et Hamber, parsemés de sommets, de glaciers, de lacs, de chutes, de canyons et de grottes calcaires, offrent des paysages montagneux particulièrement remarquables. On y trouve aussi le gisement fossilifère de Burgess Shale, renommé pour ses restes fossilisés d'animaux marins à corps mou.

Парки Канадских Скалистых гор

Смежно-расположенные национальные (Банф, Джаспер, Кутеней, Йохо) и провинциальные (Маунт-Робсон, Маунт-Эссинибойн, Хамбер) парки изобилуют горными пиками, ледниками, озерами, водопадами, каньонами и известняковыми пещерами, что формирует поразительный высокогорный ландшафт. Здесь же расположен Бёрджес-Шейл – место обнаружения уникальных окаменелых остатков обитателей древних морей.

Parques de las Montañas Rocosas Canadienses

Los parques contiguos de Banff, Jasper, Kootenay y Yoho, junto con los parques provinciales de Monte Robson, Monte Assiniboine y Hamber, constituyen una inmensa zona de cumbres, glaciares, lagos, cascadas, cañones y grutas calcáreas que forman un paisaje montañoso espectacular. Aquí se encuentra el yacimiento fosilífero de Burgess Shale, famoso por los restos de animales marinos de cuerpo blando que contiene.

Canadese parken van de Rocky Mountain

De Canadese parken van de Rocky Mountain bestaan uit vier aangrenzende nationale parken: Banff, Jasper, Kootenay en Yoho en drie provinciale parken: Mount Robsen, Mount Assiniboine en Hamber. Het gebied is bezaaid met ruige bergtoppen, ijsvelden en gletsjers, alpenweiden, meren, watervallen, uitgestrekte karstgrotten en diep ingesneden canyons. Actieve gletsjers en ijsvelden bestaan nog steeds in de hele regio, waarvan het Columbia ijsveld de belangrijkste is en de grootste in het subarctische gebied van Noord-Amerika. Onderdeel van de parken is de fossielen-site Burgess Shale, die bekend is vanwege de fossiele resten van mariene weekdieren.

Statement of Significance

Renowned for their scenic splendor, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks are comprised of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho national parks and Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks. Together, they exemplify the outstanding physical features of the Rocky Mountain Biogeographical Province. Classic illustrations of glacial geological processes — including icefields, remnant valley glaciers, canyons and exceptional examples of erosion and deposition — are found throughout the area. The Burgess Shale Cambrian and nearby Precambrian sites contain important information about the earth’s evolution.

Criterion (vii): The seven parks of the Canadian Rockies form a striking mountain landscape. With rugged mountain peaks, icefields and glaciers, alpine meadows, lakes, waterfalls, extensive karst cave systems and deeply incised canyons, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks possess exceptional natural beauty, attracting millions of visitors annually.

Criterion (viii): The Burgess Shale is one of the most significant fossil areas in the world. Exquisitely preserved fossils record a diverse, abundant marine community dominated by soft-bodied organisms. Originating soon after the rapid unfolding of animal life about 540 million years ago, the Burgess Shale fossils provide key evidence of the history and early evolution of most animal groups known today, and yield a more complete view of life in the sea than any other site for that time period. The seven parks of the Canadian Rockies are a classic representation of significant and on-going glacial processes along the continental divide on highly faulted, folded and uplifted sedimentary rocks.

Notes
  • The "Burgess Shale" property, which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the "Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks".

  • Property inscribed for both geological and ecological values under natural criterion N (ii) before 1994. Criterion N (i) [Operational Guidelines 2002] was added. For more details see Decision 30.COM 8D.1.
