Jasper is a serine National Park located within the Canadian Rockies. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the second largest dark sky preserve in the world. The mountain getaway is surrounded by towering peaks and rugged mountains, glaciers, untouched wilderness, turquoise lakes, alpine meadows, and wild rivers. Most likely you'll see elk, bighorn sheep, deer, coyote and black bears.
My husband and I love anything adventure and took the chance to go rafting on the Elk River with Mountain High Adventures in Fernie, British Columbia. The 4 hour drive from Calgary is a delightful drive through the mountain scenery. We met our friends and set up camp for the evening at one of the local campgrounds. In the morning we headed to the meeting point and boarded a bus that would take us to the river.
