Jasper National Park Of Canada Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Stunning Jasper
Jasper National Park is one of a kind! If you love hiking, then you can’t miss this opportunity. The trails here are absolutely amazing. To top that off, Miette Hot Springs are right there too! We had a wonderful experience, just look at all the beautiful flowers all around! There will be mosquitos in the summer, but if you stay indoors in the evening, you will survive! #canada #travelinspiration #jasper #alberta #加拿大
Amazing natural creation
Jasper National Park is a national park in Alberta, Canada. It is the largest national park within Alberta's Rocky Mountains spanning 11,000 km2. Its location is north of Banff National Park and west of Edmonton. The park contains the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield, springs, lakes, waterfalls and mountains.

Humans hold funerals for the demise of the glaciers. To the Jasper National Park in the Rocky Mountains, be sure to take a look at the angelic glacier shaped like a wing. There is a beautiful blue-green small lake under the glacier. There is still a lot of ice floes in July, and the sunset is drunk with the calm water. The Angel Glacier is one of the fastest disappearing glaciers in the Rocky Mountains. With global warming, one day you will never see the wings of the two-winged angel again.
Jasper National Park in Canada, a park that is less famous than Banff, but has more beautiful scenery
🌟Highlights:
The scenery along the way in Jasper Park is picturesque, and you can see deer walking on the road. It is necessary to stay for two days to fully appreciate it;
Leaving Banff town and heading north, it takes about an hour and fifty minutes to reach the entrance of Jasper Scenic Area
⏳Play Time:
The ticket is 42 Canadian dollars, and you can stay for 2 days;
📝Note tips:
More than 90% of Jasper Scenic Area has no signal, set up navigation in advance, although there is only one road to Jasper Town, it is still necessary for people like me who are dependent on navigation;
There are side roads on the road, all of which are hiking or sightseeing routes. Choose a few routes to walk, and you can see the lake view that you can't see on the side of the road, as well as the canyon and waterfall view,
🚉Transportation Strategy:
From Banff Town to Jasper Park, Highway 1 turns to Highway 93, from south to north, one road leads directly to Jasper, the whole journey takes more than three hours;
The Columbia Glacier is on the left front of the car two hours after entering the park. First, the sky starts to rain-rain and snow-snow, the road is icy, and the road is wet and slow
If you want to feel the glacier up close, you can take the scenic bus in the scenic area; the ticket is more than 200 Canadian dollars; you can also hike;
Because I have participated in the Alaska Glacier Hiking before, I did not choose this item this time, just stopped to look at the Columbia Glacier from a distance and continued to drive to Jasper Town
About the RV camp: I didn't see the RV camp all the way at six o'clock in the evening, and found a public camp set up by the park, which does not provide water and electricity, and only parks where there are public toilets;
Fortunately, this rest point is very close to the creek. First, find the septic tank of the toilet to drain the sewage in the car; then fill the water tank with creek water, and live without electricity and internet tonight;
At the foot of the snow mountain, I don't want to use the generator to turn on the air conditioner without electricity, for fear that there will be no enough gasoline tomorrow; cold, I was awakened twice in the middle of the night;
Later, I learned that there was a very, very good free RV camp near Jasper Town after driving for more than two hours that night. The camp has water and electricity and sewage supply, and there are public toilets and showers for use. I don't know if there is such a camp in Banff National Park. If not, learn from others as soon as possible;
There are many hiking points and viewing points on the way to Jasper Town. You can see the lake view by randomly finding a parking point and hiking a few hundred meters; canyons, waterfalls;
When you get to Jasper Town, a very small town, drive around and go to Maligne Lake immediately. It takes about 1:50 to get from Jasper to Maligne Lake. There is a place where the trees are all black. It should be the mark of a previous mountain fire (Maligne Lake will be introduced in the next issue)

Fairmont Hotel | A stunning hotel in the Rocky Mountains
Rocky Mountain travel is an unforgettable memory. Accompanied by this beautiful scenery are three Fairmont hotels during the trip, each with its own characteristics, enough to satisfy your expectations for the Rocky Mountains travel.
1. Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
This is the first Fairmont hotel we stayed at during our Rocky Mountain trip. We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon and after checking in, we went to explore the town. The sunset reflected on the small river, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
●The Banff Springs Castle Hotel, built in 1888, follows the luxurious castle style of Scotland, with a magnificent and elegant aristocratic atmosphere. Here, you can fully enjoy the eternal beauty and luxurious comfort of the mountains and the wilderness.
For a century, it has received heads of state and famous actors from all over the world, and served as a filming location for Marilyn Monroe's "The River of No Return". It was also chosen by the Canadian government as a national historic site in 1922 for witnessing the development of national parks.
2. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
●The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise was named one of the "Top 10 Most Beautiful Hotels in the World" by the famous American financial magazine Forbes in 2011. This Canadian "national treasure" is the only "world-class hotel" standing on the shore of Lake Louise, stunning every visitor who comes for its classic Victorian architecture and luxurious interior decoration.
3. Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, also known as Jasper's Rustic Retreat
Take a morning stroll by the lake at the resort, and you can feel the ultimate tranquility. The reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the lake is clear, and the fish swim freely in the water. At that moment, the air is fresh and the mood is comfortable.
●Although the reputation of Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is not as well-known as the previous two, it is still a beloved place for two generations of the British royal family.
Jasper Resort is a wooden cabin resort, with each small cabin hidden among lush forests, ranging from low-key and cozy cedar cabins to luxurious wooden cabins. Some cabins face the exclusive Bowat Lake for hotel guests, like a hidden world of elves.
Canadian Jasper Travel Guide in the Rocky Mountains
The beauty of the Rocky Mountains is diverse, with long self-driving roads and picturesque lakes. No matter which one, it is worth savoring. Today, I recommend Jasper to everyone, a place you will want to visit again and again.
When we arrived, it was already evening and we checked into Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. An unexpected surprise awaited us the next morning.
Early morning, strolling, ultimate quietness - the reflection of the snow-capped mountains, fish swimming freely, and brightly colored small boats. When I wrote this paragraph, I stopped for a while, not sure if I was recalling the beautiful scenery or feeling the state of mind.
Attraction introduction: Jasper National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most famous national parks in western Canada. It is one of the famous mountain national parks and a large national park in the Canadian Rockies. It is located north of the Rocky Mountains and is home to a variety of wild flora and fauna. Within the park, there are Medicine Lake, Patricia and Pyramid Lakes, Maligne Lake and Maligne Canyon, where the lakes and mountains complement each other, showcasing the stunning beauty of nature. There are also ancient and vast icefields in the Canadian Rockies, which attract people from all over the world every year.
Athabasca Falls Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Walking on a trail path along the river valley and the waterfall, you can find a good angle to enjoy and shoot the waterfall. The river is clear and transparent, icy and biting, and some rivers are calm and calm, and some rivers are rushing, and the river passes over the bare rocks, causing layers of waves. At the height of 25 meters, the Athabasca Falls are not too big, but because the river is narrow, the water flow is large, the flow rate is fast, the waterfall is rolling rapidly, and the water flowing down makes the mist rise.
This is a classroom of natural philosophy. A small drop of water can roar like it can be gathered together. It can be shredded to block hard rock. Don't despise weak forces. Sometimes they can change the world as well.
[Ticket Information] If you have bought tickets for Jasper National Park, you dont need to buy tickets for this attraction in one day.
[Opening Hours] Open all year round, in case of major natural disasters such as blizzards, Visitors will be notified to close in advance, please pay attention to local weather and official website news.
[Traffic information] The most convenient way to drive.
Athabasca Falls
picture of Athabasca Falls can also be seen. The drop of Athabasca Falls is not large, but the amount of water is very large, so it is quite spectacular when pouring down. People have not gone yet. When you get to the neighborhood, you can hear a huge sound.
But don't think that if you go here, just take a photo of the waterfall and take a photo. There are other scenery worth taking.
Go down the sign and enter the Lower canyon through the narrow passage. The entrance to the picture is still wide. The narrower the way, the narrower the distance. There is only one passage to the back, plus rock. Cascading, the photo is pretty good ~
There are also different angles to take a special photo, you can explore it yourself~

The three Fairmont hotels in the Rocky Mountains add color to your Canadian journey!
Banff is the first stop on a self-driving tour of the Rocky Mountains, with blue skies and white clouds, it really is peaceful and comfortable. Looking out from the hotel window, the green mountain tops, dotted with a bit of white snow, are picturesque! The Fairmont hotel at Lake Louise is another sight to behold, everyone marvels at the stunning window view, and it's also nice to walk around outside, with the lake reflecting the snow-capped mountains, a different kind of scenery! The Fairmont in Jasper is a resort hotel, with beautiful lakes and mountains, and even the little houses are beautiful! Definitely worth experiencing if you have the chance!

Lake Louise Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Lake Louise is probably the most popular tourist spot in Banff National Park, and for good reason! The Lake is famous for its milky green water and the stunning views of the Victoria Glacier behind.
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise lies along the shores (a great place to grab afternoon tea), and there are a number of incredible hikes that begin from the shoreline. Lake Louise also has TWO teahouses, which are worthy hikes in themselves!
#lake #lakelouise #canada #banff #reflection
Lake Louise, Banff - Canada: This stunning place is in Banff National Park. The turquoise water looks really great. The Canadian Rockies view is also awesome. You can enjoy canoeing in summer time and skating in winter time. 🛶🛶🛶
Lake Lake, Banff Park, Canada, must see Raiders!
For the little fairy who wants to go to Banff National Park in Canada, Lake Louise is definitely a treasure trove that you can't miss, and who knows who is going to "the sapphire of the Rocky Mountains".
The lake water in Lake Louise contains minerals under the glacier, and the clear blue-green color appears in the sun, and the color of the lake changes with the intensity of the light. From a close look, the lake is light green, and in the distance it is greenish. If you look up the lake, it looks like a crystal clear emerald inlaid in the magnificent mountain peaks and the spectacular Victoria Glacier.
For Lake Louise, the best tourist season is between June and October, and the most tourists in the park in July and August, this time is full of sunshine. The temperature is comfortable, the scenery is pleasant, and the road conditions are good. In June, September and October, the mountains will be a bit cold, but there will be fewer tourists and more fun.
Address:Improvement District No. 9
I am very afraid of wintering in Shanghai. It is particularly difficult to get wet, but Alberts winter is really cold even if its minus ten degrees. The Fairmont Hotel in Lake Louise is also so good! Sitting on a million-dollar landscape window, a window of ice and snow outside the window, like a dream
