Jasper

Jasper is a tourist town but a larger area than Banff. The railway tracks are right next to the town and the Rocky sightseeing train stops here so many people spend a night or two in a hotel and explore the area. they offer many hiking and white water rafting tripsThe main campsite  is really large, it has over 780 campsites so we decided to travel a little further out to Snaring 12kms and found a delightful campsite right on the river. The whole area of Jasper is in the National Park.

We had spent time catching up with our laundry and the visited the Maligne Canyon. We did a 2 hr hike around this area which was very picturesque,it is very narrow with lots of waterfalls. Many of the hikes were closed because of bear activity. There has been late sno

I so love my Merrell hiking boots, they are so,so comfortable.
