The town was built in 1822 and has all the public facilities here, including restaurants, hotels, train stations, bus stations, cinemas, post offices, schools, hospitals, etc. There are many such towns in North America, each with its own history and charm, but because Jasper is located in Canada's famous national park, this town is particularly popular with tourists.

Maligne Lake
Maligne Lake is the second largest glacial lake in the world and the only lake in the Rocky Mountains where motor boats can sail. The scenery around the lake is magnificent, with dense pine forests, lovely grasslands and flowers all over the mountains. There are many hiking trails along the lake.

This stunning landscape, rich in wildlife, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll then enter the Rocky Mountain National Park complex and reach Athabasca Falls.

Take a giant snowmobile to the 300- meter-deep Athabasca Glacier and experience firsthand the remains of the Second Ice Age. Next, we'll visit the 280- meter-high Glacier Glass Bridge, a glass bridge overlooking the Columbia Icefield, offering a close-up glimpse of one of the world's most unique ecosystems. We'll then visit Peyto Lake, where the waters of this glacial lake are tinged with a Tiffany blue hue due to mineral deposits at the bottom. This jewel-like, shimmering water, nestled peacefully amidst the surrounding mountains, promises a truly spectacular viewing experience. We'll arrive in Banff in the evening.

Jasper National Park
Jasper National Park spans 4,200 square miles (10,878 square km) and contains significant active geologic processes, scenic mountains, along with diverse animal and plant populations. When Jasper was first protected as a forest park in 1907, it covered an area of approximately 5,000 square miles (12,950 square km). In 1930 it was declared a national park with its present size. It was designated part of UNESCO’s Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site in 1984.

Athabasca Falls
Located in Jasper National Park, Athabasca Falls is a waterfall formed in the upper reaches of the Athabasca River. It is known as the most breathtaking waterfall in the Rocky Mountains. Athabasca Falls is famous not only for its height of 23 meters and the rushing water, but also because the waterfall water carries sand and stones and impacts the two banks with great force to form a pothole.

Columbia Icefield
The Columbia Glacier was formed in ancient times. It is located on the plateau and close to the North Pole. It is one of the 17 glaciers in the Rocky Mountains. It is a famous ancient ice sheet relic in the world and a great watershed between the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. The Columbia Glacier provides clean water and fresh air for the entire North America, and affects the ecological environment of animals and plants.

Columbia Icefield Adventure－Ice Explore
Check in at the Glacier Discovery Centre and take a shuttle to the Icefield Transfer Station to board a large Glacier Explorer built specifically for glacier travel.

Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Explore the immense powers of glaciology from a fully accessible, cliff-edge walkway that leads to a glass-floored observation platform 280 m (918 ft) above the Sunwapta Valley. From ice-capped mountain peaks to vast glacier-formed valleys, the Columbia Icefield Skywalk is your front-row seat to nature's most grand performance.

Peyto Lake
Peyto Lake is a popular sightseeing spot! It is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is near the Icefields Parkway. During the summer, a significant amount of glacial rock flour flows into the lake from a nearby glacier. The suspended rock particles are what give the lake a unique bright, turquoise color. Due to its bright color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books.

Banff National Park
Banff National Park is famously known for its colored lakes, majestic mountains, and endless outdoor adventures that it has to offer! It is also Canada’s very first national park and the world’s third! It has a rich heritage and is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring mountain destinations to discover! Make sure to even take a special look at its easy access and close proximity that it has to the vast unspoiled wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. The park itself spans 6,641 square kilometers (2,564 square miles) of pure mountainous terrain. It is greatly packed with spectacular scenic valleys, peaks, glaciers, forests, meadows, and rivers. Take a look at what makes Banff National Park so unique!

Lake Louise
Lake Louise, located on the south side of Highway 1, is a famous attraction in Banff National Park. With Mount Victoria as its barrier and surrounded by dense forests, the mountains and waters are interdependent, forming a perfect landscape photo.

Moraine Lake
Moraine Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park in Canada. It is located in the famous Valley of the Ten Peaks. The bottom of the lake is filled with mineral-rich gravel. Over the years, the sedimentation has formed ever-changing blue water. It is recognized as the most photographed lake in the world. The lake surface is sapphire blue and crystal clear, like a shining pearl.

Yoho National Park
Yoho National Park lies on the western slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Vertical rock walls, waterfalls and high peaks draw visitors from all around the world to this unique national park! Yoho offers exceptional hiking and sightseeing for everyone to enjoy! The park even offers a unique glimpse of Canada’s natural wonders and an insight of this alpine majesty!

Emerald Lake
The beautiful Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, covering an area of slightly more than one square kilometer. The lake water presents different shades of green under different light conditions, and is known as the "Emerald of the Rocky Mountains." Walking along the lakeside path, you can enjoy the reflections of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the vigorous pines and cypresses nearby in the rippling blue water.

Natural Bridge
This natural bridge was formed after millions of years of erosion by the Kikinhaus River (also known as the Leaping Horse River). Initially, the river water washed out cracks in the solid rocks, causing the rushing river water to continuously break through the cracks in the rocks, and then gradually hollowed out the huge rocks from the bottom upwards, eventually making a huge rock blocking the river channel washed away into a "natural bridge" shaped like a bridge.

Marble Canyon
Marble Canyon is a popular hike in Kootenay National Park near Lake Louise, Alberta. The hike is an easy 1 mile (1.6 km) out and back trail suitable for all skill levels with fencing along most areas. The trail follows Tokumm Creek which created Marble Canyon by cutting and carving it’s way through the rock. Turquoise, glacial waters, and startling canyon walls grow ever more impressive along this short trail. Multiple bridges span the narrow gorge, crossing several times for spine-tingling views of the river below! Watch for fuchsia fireweed and mountain bluebirds in a landscape shaped by fire, erosion, and mountain building.
