As scores of tourists overcrowd one of Canada's most popular national parks, Parks Canada is setting new rules to preserve the site's environmental gems while still allowing visitors.
As of 2023, private vehicles are no longer permitted at Moraine Lake in Alberta's Banff National Park, in an attempt on Parks Canada's part to handle the overcrowded tourism.
Harm to the national park may not be caused by the tourists themselves, one expert says, so much as how they get there. Parks Canada says 900 personal vehicles are able to park at Moraine Lake each year, but the demand is so high 5,000 vehicles are still turned away annually. While parking is still allowed in designated areas such as the Lake Louise Lakeshore, tourists no longer able to park on Moraine Lake Road will have to take the Parks Canada shuttle bus or use local transit. The only personal vehicles permitted on the road are those with a disability tag.
