We arrived in Jasper early afternoon and still had plenty of time to take awesome photos before dark.
Jasper is about 45 minutes from the entrance to the Jasper National Park.
An incredible sight as we drove into the park, the Bighorn Sheep.
Guard rails don't stop these Bighorn Sheep from crossing the highway.
The largest national park in the Canadian Rockies covering 10,878 kilometres.
Can you see the CP Rail crossing at the bottom of the photo? Gives a sense of size to the enormous mountain behind it.
The park is home to 550 Elk......
A herd of over 30 Elk welcomed us at the entrance of Jasper.
Oh yeah.....my money shot photo of my very large friendly Elk still eating his grass as I snap away.
She definitely is on about something?
I think she hurt his feelings?
Jasper National Park was established in 1907.
Approximately 2,022,878 visitors came to Jasper in 2013.
Ice and snow covering the streams heading into the town of Jasper.
This train stopped and the passengers enjoyed a wee bit of time visiting Jasper. Then off they went to their next destination west.
