The Icefield Parkway and Jasper (Alberta, Canada)
August 25, 2009
Jasper National Park is hailed by many as one of the most deserving of the World Heritage sites. Jasper is an inspiration to all who visit, a reminder of nature's beauty. Jasper National Park is one of the largest protected natural areas in North America with 4,200 square miles.

below - You pay daily to drive on the Icefield Parkway - money well spent because the Icefield Parkway has some of the most beautiful scenery the two RV Gypsies have ever seen - lakes, mountains, waterfalls and more......... Around every corner, the scenery just keeps getting more awesome.....The Icefield Parkway joins the Jasper and Banff National Parks in the most breathtaking beautiful drive throughout the entire Parkway. The Icefield Parkway is considered a scenic drive, not a transportation corridor. That's why you need to buy a park pass to drive the parkway. Large trucks are banned and the speed limit is leisurely. The Icefield Parkway passes within viewing distance of seven icefields (large upland glaciers) and 25 smaller glaciers and so much more.

Whistlers Campground in Jasper National Park of Canada - Yes, you pay for camping plus the Icefield Parkway road fee previously paid. All food and food supplies, including coolers, must be stored in your vehicle because this is bear country. Maximum length of stay is 14 days. No TV, or AT&T cell phone service. There are 781 sites but limited sites with hook-ups, so the site the two RV Gypsies got was dry-camping. They do have an outdoor theater show every night at 8 p.m. which is usually about the area or wildlife.

Driving just outside of Jasper, we saw this man helping a woman up the hill. He had his hand on her butt to help her up the steep climb. One photo taken from our moving car, so I tried to zoom in on the original image. LOL
