Jasper Walking Tour
Jasper, Canada
Why Walk Jasper
Jasper National Park covers 4,335 square miles of the Canadian Rockies, making it the largest national park in the range. The Columbia Icefield — the largest ice mass in the Rocky Mountains — feeds rivers flowing to three different oceans. The park is a designated Dark Sky Preserve, one of the largest in the world, with extraordinary stargazing. Jasper's relative remoteness compared to Banff means quieter trails and more wildlife encounters.
