We get to see a lot of shared images of Jasper, and we have to say: we are constantly astounded by the photographic talent we see from both locals and visitors alike. So we highlight a few of our favourites every month on our website. To have your photos considered, share them on Instagram and include the hashtags #venturebeyond and #myjasper or tag @tourismjasper.
Here are our top picks from July:
Imagine laying down in this field of fluff. 300 thread count sheets couldn't even compare.
The wildflowers are popping these days up at Edith Cavell Meadows! Head up to get some colour in your life.
Talk about a power pose.

Baby animals like this young elk are adorable, but it's important to remember that mama is usually close by and can be very protective. Maintain 30 metres from any elk, moose, caribou, sheep, or goat except when completely inside a legally positioned motor vehicle.

Otherwise we risk threatening the existence of our animal subjects.- Jasper's June Photos of the Month
