Banff's northern cousin is just as beautiful and is quieter. For those looking for stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and clear blue mountain lakes and rivers, this is the place to be. Located only 3 hours from Edmonton by car, Jasper is the stereotypical unspoiled beauty people think of when they think of Canada.
Some of the best known places in the park include world famous Spirit Island, Athabasca Falls, the Columbia Glacier and Mt. Edith Cavell to name but a few. The park has a plethora of camping, hiking and sightseeing options. [edit text][editors]
