As Albertans, we have to introduce our back garden of the Rocky Mountains, and this article starts with Jasper National Park. Western Canada is not a backpacker-friendly destination for a number of reasons, most often by car, usually from Edmonton or Calgary.

Jasper's fame is not as big as Banff's, its geographical location is not as good as Banff's, so it is not as high as Banff's commercialization, but it is also because there are fewer people, so the deep tour experience will be better. As to which scenic spot is more beautiful, it is up to you to decide. The following is a small white guide to attractions, not suitable for deep players.
