Towering mountain ranges, icy blue lakes, dense forests, wolves and other wildlife. This video from Jasper National Park shows you highlights of this spectacular part of Canada. Follow a pack of wolves as they interact with each other and travel across the landscape. See impressive elk and bighorn sheep at home in their habitat. Listen to the sound of Canada geese flying overhead. Watch mountain bikers navigating a trail and people riding on horseback all set against a backdrop of the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains. This video will show you why Jasper is one of Canada’s natural treasures. Only a few hours drive from Edmonton, Jasper National Park runs along the spine of the Canadian Rockies. Jasper is the largest and most northerly Canadian rocky mountain national park and is part of a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Alberta Falls in the south of Glacier Gorge is one of the park’s most popular sightseeing destinations where white masses of foaming water race down several levels into the valley below.
The road from Glacier Gorge winds its way in a northerly direction past Glacier Basin and the eastern park entrance close to Estes Park. In this region the Rocky Mountains are at their most beautiful and the landscape in the area of Horseshoe Park is reminiscent of the exciting and colourful Wild West of old.
