The Most Beautiful Red Chair Destinations In Canada's Parks

Parks Canada decided to up their marketing game a few years ago and create the Red Chairs Experience Program. They placed red Adirondack chairs in many of the country’s national parks and national historic sites. Parks Canada said the innovation was intended to provide more opportunities for visitors to connect with nature, unwind, and truly experience the best of Canada. Since its inception, the #sharethechair hashtag count has only grown. Here are some of the most beautiful places to seek out the red chairs in Canada.

1. Banff National Park

Natural Feature, Park

Situated in the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park is Canada’s oldest national park. Established in 1885, it just keeps getting better with age. Some of the park’s highlights include the Banff township, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, Peyto Lake, and Johnston Canyon. There are two sets of red chairs in Banff National Park: one at the top of Tunnel Mountain and one at Lake Minnewanka. The lake is just five kilometers (3.1 miles) northeast of the town and has amazing Rocky Mountain views.

2. Kejimkujik National Park

Park

Kejimkujik is a national park as well as a national historic site in Nova Scotia. Its crowning jewel is the Kejimkujik Seaside. Enjoy the Atlantic shoreline and long walks along Saint Catherines River Beach. Seals call this area home, basking in the sun on offshore islets. Parks Canada placed six red chair pairs throughout Kejimkujik’s inland portion, plus this set by the seaside.

3. Jasper National Park

Park

A park filled with glaciers, lakes and peaks, Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies has just as much to offer as its sister park, Banff. Jasper’s highlights include Mt Edith Cavell, Maligne Canyon, the incredible Columbia Icefield, Pyramid Lake and Sunwapta Falls. There are seven sets of red Adirondack chairs throughout Jasper National Park. This pair is on the Wilcox Pass near the Icefield, which has panoramic views towards Athabasca Glacier at its summit.

4. Yoho National Park

Park

Although it’s in British Columbia, Yoho National Park is actually still a part of the Canadian Rockies. It’s named after a Cree expression meaning awe and wonder, and you will be walking around in awe at this park. There are two sets of red chairs at Yoho. The first set is at Yoho Lake, while the second pair is beside Takakkaw Falls. Enjoy the sound of water thundering over the cliff at one of Canada’s tallest waterfalls.
