To be honest, when Jasper rises from the ashes, make sure to visit it, because it is even more beautiful than Banff

I am a globe-trotter and travel photographer, please follow me! (Published the 1757th original travel photography in 1015 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents) Thinking about the most heart-wrenching event in Canada these days that has broken the hearts of countless tourists, it is undoubtedly the severe wildfire in the town of Jasper. According to reports, the wildfire has destroyed at least 30% of the town's buildings. Fortunately, I visited Jasper again two days before the wildfire arrived. Compared to the southern town of Banff, although Jasper is one of Canada's "Rocky Mountain twins," its fame and popularity seem to be somewhat less than Banff. However, I believe that compared to Banff, Jasper's facilities are not lacking. Hotels and restaurants are all available, and the prices are not as high as Banff's. During peak season, it is not difficult to find a room or get a table without waiting. Moreover, the scenery of Jasper National Park is not inferior to Banff. There are many iconic attractions that many tourists mistakenly think belong to Banff National Park, but in fact, they belong to Jasper National Park. For example, the well-known Columbia Icefield, Athabasca Falls, Maligne Lake, Spirit Island, etc. And the most beautiful part of the famous Icefields Parkway is also in Jasper. In short, I believe that whether it is the town of Jasper, Jasper National Park, or the surrounding areas, they are all worth visiting. When Jasper rises from the ashes, make sure to visit it, because it is even more beautiful than Banff...
