Jasper national park 202

Three months ago my sister, friends and I had the privileged to travel to Jasper National Park, Canada. It is the largest and most northerly Canadian rocky mountain national park, part of a spectacular World Heritage Site. Jasper National Park spans 10,878 square kilometers of broad valleys, rugged mountains, glaciers, forests, alpine meadows and wild rivers along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in western Alberta. Jasper National Park offers over 1,200 kilometres of hiking trails, with scenery ranging from cascading waterfalls to alpine meadows carpeted in wildflowers.

A very exciting cable car runs to the top of Whistler’s Mountain just outside the town of Jasper. Do you wanna try? It’s awesome! We explore both night and day trips with a number of spectacular mountain drives. It’s awesome, fabulous beauty of nature and of course we enjoyed the stunning landscapes and amazing activities.

    There was an old song – the only way to know if you friend is really your friend – take him/her to climb the mountains – if you can trust him there – you can trust him anywhere. Amazing views – impressive is the word for it – those rocks are tough stuff!
    Also, thank you for visiting my mom’s blog – Nadine from Bulgaria – I fixed it for her a week ago – and she is proud to try blogging – one little step at a time. Thank you!

    What a BEAUTIFUL place and what marvelous photos of this amazing area. My sister and her husband were there just a couple of weeks ago and have sent ME some of their photos on DVDs. Love the red tram. I’ll have to ask if they rode it ;–)
    Hugs and blessings,
