Jasper National Park offers towering mountains, pristine lakes, forests, ice fields, waterfalls and hot springs. It is similar to parts of Banff National Park, but in Banff, the mountains seem closer together.   The farther north you go into Jasper, which is the largest of the Rocky Mountain parks, the more likely it is that some of Alberta's meadows and valleys will be in the foreground.

Attractions within the park include Mt. Edith Cavell, which is one of the park's tallest peaks, Angel Glacier, the dramatic limestone gorge of Maligne Canyon and Maligne Lake, and the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies. For a spectacular view, take the Jasper Tramway, a narrated cable-car ride, to Whistlers's Mountain.

Other activities to consider include hiking, camping, fishing, boating, white-water rafting, trail riding and boat tours on Maligne Lake. If you have extra time, consider soaking in Miette Hot Springs, where cold water must be added to the scalding spring water to bring the temperature down to 103 F.  

The Icefields Parkway enters Jasper National Park from the south and is the connecting route to Banff National Park. It follows the river valleys between the mountains, and its amazing scenery includes turquoise lakes, thundering waterfalls, and glaciers.  Jasper is known as the jewel of the Rockies for good reason!.
