A little of Jasper National Park

It seems Jasper National Park is often regarded as either a place on the way to Alaska or Banff National Park's younger step-sister. However, this wonderful Park has more to see and more to do than you can possibly fit into two weeks. Massive icefields, hundreds of glaciers, lush forests of spruce trees, robust populations of elk, bear, mountain goats, enormous crystal clear lakes, and so much more. Here are a few sights we took in while camping at Jasper National Park's Whistlers campground just south of the community of Jasper.
