It's hard to believe, but we've lived here 13 years without a visit to the majestic mountains of Jasper. We found some time early this month and, honestly, I did not want to leave. The following are photos taken three weeks ago during a trip to Jasper National Park, Alberta.
The cranberry white chocolate scone is scrumptious!! You must also try their cheese loaf and an Italian loaf with bruschetta in it.
We took the Jasper Tram up the side of a mountain and then hiked up a ways to get some stunning photos, including the panorama.
Above, the gorgeous Athabasca Falls and below, the Athabasca River.
Coming next, the Columbia Ice Fields.
I've joined the following memes with this post:
There's nothing like fantastic mountain scenery, is there? I bet zou will be visiting the park regularly from now on.

ReplyDeleteBev, I have lived in Alberta my entire life as well, though in Southern Alberta where Waterton National Park was our go-to destination to be in the mountains.
Arija, I certainly hope it is the first of many trips to Jasper! Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteHello Shey and welcome to The Gardening Life. If the opportunity presents itself to visit any of the Rocky Mountains, whether it's Jasper, Banff or Waterton National Parks within the Rockies; you really should take advantage of it. From hiking, to trams, to skiing, to boating, fishing and so much more; the mountains have something to offer everyone! I just love them!
ReplyDeleteWow.. Ehat a stunning place! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat landscapes, nice shots.
