JASPER NATIONAL PARK
Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Although it ’ s the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies , Jasper is much quieter and less busy than neighbouring Banff . Its landscapes , however , are equally stunning . With so much to see and do , a typical day ’ s adventures can easily stretch from dawn to dusk .
Perched upon the eastern side of the Canadian Rockies , Jasper National Park is especially beautiful in the morning . Wake up early to watch the rising sun cast a rosy alpenglow upon each of the park ’ s highest peaks , one by one . Spend the afternoon seeing the powerful Athabasca Falls , crossing the scenic bridges over Maligne Canyon or stepping onto a glacier at Columbia Icefield . Jasper National Park is one of Canada ’ s dark-sky preserves , so stay up late to watch the Milky Way rise over the mountain silhouette . If you ’ re lucky , you may even catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis .
