Guide to Jasper
Geography
Jasper is located in the province of Alberta, at the heart of the Jasper National Park. The town is surrounded by a number of lakes, mountains, and woodlands, making it great for travelers of all kinds.
Climate
Summers (June-September) are warm and sunny, and hence draw a large number of tourists. On the other hand, winters (Dec-March) are snowy and cold, clearing out the crowds for solo travels. Visit in the late spring if you’d like a balance between solitude and company.
Culture
Since Jasper’s economy revolves around its national park, its people tend to be peaceful, quiet, and very conscious of the environment.
Things to do in Jasper
Explore the Jasper National Park
Jasper National Park is the biggest national park in the Canadian Rockies. While here, be sure to visit its rivers, forests, and mountains. It isn’t as commercial as Jasper, one of the other parks in the Canadian Rockies, and this makes it better for a quiet vacation. This also means its animals are easier to spot. Check out the park’s bears, bighorn sheep, elk, wolves, and other animals if you can.
Go kayaking on Lake Edith, hike through Maligne Valley, look at the wildflowers on the Cavell Meadows Trail, and drive a private vehicle down the scenic Icefields Parkway. When you decide to pause for a breather, ease your muscles at Miette Hot Springs.
Travel by dog sled
Like most places that experience subarctic climate, Jasper embraces the usage of dog sleds. You can hire one of these for either a brief trip or an extended journey, depending on what you’re comfortable with. Trust us, you will be surprised at how fast huskies can run!
Winter sports at Marmot Basin
Marmot Basin is an alpine ski resort that’s as suitable for beginners as it is for experts. To make the most of your time, hire a certified ski instructor and let loose on the slopes!
Eating out in Jasper
If you’re on your way to Maligne Canyon, the deepest canyon in the Jasper National Park, stop at Maligne Canyon Wilderness Kitchen, which has some of the best smoked meats in the region. To get a taste of what the locals eat, try the farm-style meals at Authentic. The Raven Bistro’s Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes – such as the tria gousta or Halloumi Buddha Bowl – are bound to excite the adventurer in you. The Olive Bistro and Lounge serves some of the crispiest, spiciest prawns in town.
