Jasper
Linked with Lake Louise by the awesome Icefield Parkway, one of the most beautiful drives in the world; you will pass the Columbia icefields, Peyto Lake and the Athabasca Glacier, Jasper is a delightful small town. Set in the centre of Jasper National Park you will be able to wander the streets surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery. Be sure to take the cruise on Maligne Lake to see the much photographed Spirit Island and the Jasper Tramway for incredible views over the Rocky Mountains.
