As part of our "get to know Canada" tour, we visited Jasper National Park last weekend. The largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper is quite impressive and absolutely gorgeous. The park includes the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield, hot springs, lakes, waterfalls and, of course, mountains.
Wildlife in the park include elk, caribou, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain boar, bighorn sheep, grizzly bear and black bear. If you are really lucky and don't encounter the grizzlies, there is also an abundance of gray wolves, mountain lions and wolverines.
I promised to send Aubrey a picture of the black bear (we had 2 sightings) but my favorite was the geography, rock formations and landscape. The photo above is the Maligne Canyon, looking down into it. The snow and ice are still melting and the water was absolutely the most aquamarine blue I have ever seen. Stunning.
