Such an amazing experience. The views are breath taking. Would definitely recommend this beautiful place. The weather was perfect!
Absolutely spectacular! Every part of Jasper NP is unique and beautiful. From the mountains to the ice fields to the rivers, it is easy to get into primeval wilderness here. You can stick to the main roads and have an amazing experience, and getting out into the backcountry is like going back in time to when “the green and dark forest was too silent to be real”. Just go!
Must visit, no doubt absolutely incredible.
Jasper NP is magical, it's grand, the mountains are endless, the size/hight that's something to experience in person. No video or pictures could do it's justice, the size in person just doesn't seem real.
There is so much to stop and see, one day wasn't enough.
I was there on December 22, 2023
It was snowing which made the experience 💯 times more spectacular.
The one thing, I wish they would have salted the main road that takes you through the park, roads were were icy both ways, it got a bit dangerous to drive at night.
I was surprised but it does warn you when you enter. I have an sub, 4WD with snow tires, I was fine but I could tell a few sedans had a little hard time but it was in spots not all through out. It also let's you know there will be no reception for about 180km
It was practically empty when I was there, I saw barely any cars going by, which made me enjoy nature to it's fullest.
You won't regret visiting Jasper, it's a MUST!

What an amazing park! The shimmering emerald color waters and mountains. Quite the majestic site. We were fortunate to see mountain sheep as well as a bear in the far distance. This was in early October (2023).
The route is incredible scenic. Do try to drive around sunset to soak in amazing views. Caution - it does get very dark quickly and there are no street lights around. On the plus side you can glaze into the sky and see stars like never before.
One issue I had with both Banff and jasper national park is the lack of proper washrooms. They have plenty of bio washrooms with NO SINKS. And most of them so stinky that you could not step into it.
There is also no cell service in major part of the park and gas stations are far apart. Prepare accordingly to visit this scenic park.

How to describe such a massive and beautiful place. Mountains Waterfalls, lakes trails and much wild life mostly not friendly so leave them alone. Chipmunks excepted they will find you. Breathtaking. Pictures and videos of the bear taken from a bus.
We are visiting from the States and have been absolutely pleased with every part of our visit here. Your roads are well maintained, the park is extremely clean, and you have restroom facilities available along the road pull-offs. Brilliant! Our experience here has been better than we could have hoped for. Job well done, Canada.
Satisfied. Jasper National Park is so awesome. There’s a lot of beautiful places to visit to. Traveling within these places would be difficult if you do not have a friend/family who can drive for you. Unless of course you join arranged tours but you have to pay sum of money and it’s not cheap. Always wear a comfortable shoes because you’ll hike a lot and it is not a choice 😉.
