Jasper National Park

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada - 2017. Jasper National Park is located west of Edmonton on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Covering more than 11,000 square kilometres, it is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. It has majestic mountains, glaciers, wildlife, lakes, waterfalls and outstanding natural beauty. I spent a couple of days in the park in what should have been spring weather. One nice sunny day, one cloudy and cold and one cold and snowy – Alberta in the spring time, expect anything.
