Welcome to the Ultimate Travel Guide to Jasper National Park. I’ve been waiting to make this video for a couple of years and while I have traveled to Jasper recently, I wanted to spend more than just a day in the park so that I could visit all of the major attractions and truly bring a video worthy of this incredible location. During my last trip, I spent many days exploring the park and this video is from that time in the park.

My first visit to Jasper National Park was in 1981. I remember it well and thinking how different it was to Banff. It wasn't as commercial and it wasn’t as busy. The same is still true today. However, even though it is not nearly as busy as Banff it is still one of Canada’s most popular travel destinations (about 2.5 million people visit the park every year). As a result, planning is a must if you wish to make the most out of your visit to Jasper. And, this is what I recommended to everyone I met when I worked with the tourist board in Alberta.

Thank you for watching the ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE to Jasper National Park. This video explores how to get here, how to get around, where to stay, where to eat and what there is to do in one of Canada's most beautiful locations. Please SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this.

ジャスパー国立公園への究極の旅行ガイドへようこそ。このビデオを作るのを数年間待っていました。最近ジャスパーに旅行したのですが、公園で 1 日以上過ごして、主要なアトラクションをすべて訪れて、本当にビデオを撮りたかったのです。この素晴らしいロケーションにふさわしい。前回の旅行中、私は何日もかけて公園を探索しました。このビデオはそのときの公園のものです。
