Avant de partir

Trois choses à savoir

La carte d'entrée

La plupart des parcs exigent un droit d'entrée quotidien ; la carte d'entrée annuelle Découverte couvre l'ensemble du réseau. Tarifs à vérifier auprès de Parcs Canada.

Les réservations

Camping, navettes et stationnements populaires se réservent souvent des mois à l'avance, surtout en juillet et en août.

La faune

Gardez vos distances, rangez la nourriture et transportez du gaz poivré en territoire d'ours lorsque c'est recommandé.

Les conditions d'accès, les fermetures et les tarifs évoluent : confirmez toujours auprès de Parcs Canada avant votre départ.
