Jasper

Jasper, a small alpine town in the province of Alberta, is the commercial center of Jasper National Park. Amid the snow-capped Canadian Rockies, the park features glacier-fed lakes, forests, and rivers. The Jasper SkyTram ascends to the top of Whistlers Mountain, offering views of downtown. The Jasper Yellowhead Museum and Archives features exhibits about the fur trade, railways, and early exploration of the park.

Named for the town's founder and originally a post office, Jasper is now a quaint town that thrives on the thousands of tourists who come each year to enjoy the natural wonders of Jasper National Park.
