The Jasper House historical site is somewhat hard to get to (being on the far bank of the Athabasca River) but the short roadside viewpoint trail is worth a wander. Hard to believe this was once the busiest place in what is now the Jasper National Park region! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

A beautiful sunrise and moonset from Pyramid Island this morning. Warm winds are blowing through Jasper National Park today and tomorrow giving a glimpse of the summer season to come. #CanadianRockies #MyJasper #Timelapse

The warm weather over the past few days has us looking forward to the upcoming hiking season (though a more seasonally-appropriate winter storm is about to roll into the region today!). Keep an eye on this space over the next few weeks for new guided adventures in Jasper and Mount Robson Provincial Park for Summer 2024. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Before this last storm cycle the Jasper Townsite had great sundog viewing. Sundog (or parhelion) are pairs of rainbow circles or arcs that appear on either side of the sun from cirrostratus or moist valley clouds (and can often foretell stormy weather soon!). #MyJasper

For Spring/Summer 2024 we have expanded our collection of locally designed postcards from Jasper National Park. Be on the lookout for cards at several retailers in and around Jasper, or drop us a line if you'd like a card mailed to you (at cost in BTC or fiat)! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

Weather changes are in the air around Jasper. A winter storm blew in yesterday evening with some models showing up to 20 cm above town over this weekend! 🎵Let is snow, let it snow, let is snow🎵 #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Our owner and lead guide Ben was on Business Bitcoinization to talk about the challenges and benefits of bitcoin for our backcountry small-business.

Scattered across Jasper National Park are many odd looking cages that have been put in place to compare vegetation with and without animal grazing. Some of these plots have been in place since the 1940s and help biologists to determine the relationship between the plants and wild beasties that call the park home. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies https://image.nostr.build/f0764d88fff5e4f305f1e334cb9d0fa2aa2ed8fef7ef4305a1841732c954f355.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1440&blurhash=%23YDv%2Bso%23jXj%5DjXadjYR*f6yGIVn%23R-oIj%3Fj%3Fayax_4RkaeR%2BofoebFj%5Bayxtj%3Ft7WEoeoLjuWVa%23s%2BWBjsRkkCj%40a%23j%5BfkM%7Bt6ofRkofofbHj%5Ba%7DRloes%2Ba%23WCoKjsa%7Bj%5B&x=3c38f26f3ee5d834fb8ece59e3af702b0ecc430ef47d91783b1d3ad3794b2dae

Nestled near the shore of the Athabasca River east of town sits the Madeline and Ewan Moberly Homestead (which is a peaceful place particularly in the winter!). The cabins were originally built and occupied in 1903 and predated Jasper National Park! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies https://image.nostr.build/c178a47f931aeec449adac68ea3d96c6d503af75691708b9cbc0ed348344dbf9.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1440&blurhash=%23XBqrqogWAkDofWBaej%5Bj%5DEVkEocWBj%3Fa%23j%5Bfkf6FRV%40ofWsa%7Eofj%5BWBf6tTRiayoJjraxazbHj%5Br%3AobWVn%23jZj%5Df6j%5BayR3n%24kDbIa%23ayaxjsayaJofa%7Dj%3Fazf6flfQj%5B&x=9c4fa36dbcb719e724e222b81c45d94fd15fcb3ed4e95c455b10639464dbaca6 https://image.nostr.build/3b2a323a3acec01a4a401704a9e0621dbbadd3789b1175cd0a2d664cf1796d8b.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1440&blurhash=%23hAUzbS4j%3Fjrj%5DWEf6oefRG1ofbIa%23axj%5Bj%5Bf6jsW%5BkCf5j%3FkCjZayf6j%5Bn2WCocflWBn%7Ej%5Ba%23ayaIWXayf6oej%5Bj%5BfkfRo%23oekCaej%5BWWaxayj%40bbWVa%23j%3FWBbIa%7Dj%3Fjs&x=9782ff5679d7a3c548d24bcf4ad4a117eee57d0a61aa232a3249710231819261

Warm winds have started blowing through the Canadian Rockies. The Kinbasket Reservoir (shown here) is the western boundary of the range; cracks and ridges in its icy surface make for neat images from above. #CanadianRockies #Photography #Valemount https://image.nostr.build/2e020c1a917f9e795155438e6baf5c11d20c3482e4ca6608c8d0137f060fb866.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=756x1008&blurhash=_mE%3AoTogRjj%40oeWBWB%3FdxvWBj%5Bj%40ofof%253j%3Ft7j%5Bazayayx%5BV%3FWAj%5Bj%5Bj%5BfQWAogofWBWBfkazRPW%3DofofWBayj%5BV%40jvWCa%23ofj%5BaytRayV%40WBaxayaztRa%7BWBjZjsayjt&x=2672cee8042b91b5af9e4c7f29299d8e679213b8d3c0f7c99b8473ec51774da6 https://image.nostr.build/a2ce66508fb8337ccbee3466dbe3f5bb0426520907075eb96345094d5aa994c5.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1440&blurhash=%23bFsDOWVM%7Bt8aeayt7oLaxojM%7Bt6oLj%3FfPWBayj%5Dxct7j%3FWVWVfPt7j%5Bj%40%3FwRkoLofjsayayayj%5B-%3Daef6ayaxj%5Bj%5Bayay%253WWWBt7j%5BWBfQaeaybbWBt7RPj%5BoLf6ofj%5B&x=65e0630bb3206a6892e8994f470273d4bd9fe07d1e31edbbf6f6b7bc834b1bc7
