Just because it’s isolated doesn’t mean Jasper is quiet. This place is bursting with life.

The town of Jasper, in Jasper National Park, is remote and it’s wild, and that’s the best thing about it. Try winter activities such as dog sledding and sleigh riding, or view it all from above in a gondola. Visit in autumn or spring to see the best of the resident wildlife – give your camera a workout, but don’t forget to step away from the lens and take it all in. Finish the day with a locally brewed beer, which is usually made with water sourced from the Rockies themselves. Cheers, Jasper!

Not the best place we visited in Canada - not as much character as Banff, Canmore and Whistler, but plenty of wildlife seen in the area.

Beautiful scenery. Great to access Maligne Lake. Access to Icefields Parkway - a stunning road between Lake Louise and Jasper.

We love Jasper and of course the magnificent Jasper National Park. The drive from Banff to Jasper has to be one of the best road trips in the world. Recommend Miette Hot Sorings and Maligne Lake boat ride to Spirit Island & Sundog Train/bus day tour.
