Jasper - a village 1'061 meters above sea level


Although the bad weather we had, as we started our journey from Clearwater, we could see once again some beautiful landscapes while moving forward to Jasper.



In Jasper we checked-in at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, which was located a few kilometers outside of "downtown" but with great views to the Canadian Rockies as well as on Lake Beauvert.

Beautiful view on Lake Beauvert
Another lovely view on Lake Beauvert and in the background the Canadian Rockies

A very popoular golf course was also located in the area of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, where we spent some hours practising on our golf-skills. ;-)


I never saw a driving range with such a lot of flowers.

Our "hotel room" for one night ;-)
Towards the evening we were ready to discover downtown ;-) of Jasper. Unless this gorgeous view (see picture below), this village has not much to offer. The main street is packed of souvenirs shops and a lot of restaurants. 


We decided to eat at Earl's Restaurant (see in the background ;-))

We had a chilling dinner on the restaurants balcony which provided us with these views over the village as well as the Canadian Rockies. It can't get any better....


The next day we headed towards Banff on the very famous Icefiled Parkway. Some pictures will follow soon.
