Ultimate Instagram inspo from Banff, Kootenay and Yoho national parks (PHOTOS)

Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks are open and are ready to welcome visitors from near and far over the May long weekend and throughout the rest of the summer.

Get ready for an epic adventure, and get your followers ready for all of the stunning snapshots you’re going to be posting on the ‘gram with the most pristine backdrops from these national parks.

If you are thinking of venturing out into the great outdoors, we would, however, recommend bringing more than just your selfie stick.

Visitors can do their part by getting informed and being prepared by planning an activity and sharing that information with a friend or family before they begin. Learn about the wildlife in the park/site you will be visiting to help us keep wildlife wild by checking out Parks Canada’s top ten tips.

Look through these stunning pictures from some travel inspiration to get you out into the beautiful Albertan outdoors:
