Top 5 Jasper photos of 2020

When it comes to finding moments of beauty, the mountains never disappoint. Even throughout the difficult year that was 2020, Jasper locals and visitors managed to capture the national park's stunning landscapes (and wilder residents!) through photography and were kind enough to share these images online with the community.

Here are five of the most popular images that were shared through Jasper's Instagram platform. We hope they put you in the same peaceful state of mind as they did for us. If they also inspire you to share your own images of Jasper with us, tag your images on Instagram with #myjasper and #venturebeyond for a chance to be featured.
