Every September, Jasper National Park empties out the pocketful of gold it’s been hiding all year.

There’s so much to do in Jasper National Park—the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. If you’re not sure which experiences should make the cut when planning your visit, I suggest taking inspiration from my itinerary!
