Why visit Jasper National Park
Jasper National Park sits in the northern reaches of the Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by vast wilderness, the town is framed by rugged peaks, glacier-fed lakes and thick pine forests.
- Glacier-Fed Lakes: Maligne and Pyramid Lakes are Jasper’s most striking sights. Canoe across calm turquoise waters while watching loons, osprey and moose against a mountain backdrop.
- Jasper National Park: Canada’s largest national park is a haven for nature lovers. Hike alpine meadows, spot elk and bears, and explore trails through pristine wilderness.
- Columbia Icefield: Stretching across the Continental Divide, this vast icefield is awe-inspiring. Guided Glacier Adventures and Ice Walks let you step onto the ancient ice and discover its history.
- Maligne Canyon: This narrow limestone gorge is one of Jasper’s most dramatic sights. Walk its bridges to see waterfalls, or explore deeper with a guide who explains the canyon’s formation.
- Jasper Town: Relaxed and welcoming, Jasper has boutique shops, cafés and cosy restaurants, making it a perfect base for exploring the park.
- Wildlife + Scenic Drives: From Icefields Parkway to Maligne Lake Road, the region is ideal for spotting elk, eagles and black bears, with many lookout points along the way.
- Dark Sky Preserve: At night, Jasper’s sky comes alive with stars. As one of the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserves, it offers private astronomy or astrophotography sessions.
