How many National Parks are there? How far is Jasper from Banff National Park? Below is some essential information about the Rockies before you make the trip! • There are five national parks located within the Canadian Rockies. Four of these interlock and make up the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. • These four parks are Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho. • Yoho has the funniest name of the four. • There are also four provincial parks that adjoin the National Parks. These are Hamber, Mount Assiniboine and Mount Robson. • Jasper is about a 3.5 hour drive from Banff or just 3 hours from Lake Louise. • If you are staying in Banff National Park, you must pay a fee for a park pass.
