We have had 4 glorious days in Jasper area. Because the city is entirely within the park, its development has been entirely controlled since the park was established in 1907. Nothing can be done in the 'city' without Park (read government) approval. There can be no expansion of the city footprint, design is controlled and it is just a delightful community of about 5800.
Athabascan Falls was just spectacular. Wildflowers are just coming out - and we did finally see a male and female elk (not together), mountain goats and Rocky Mt Bighorn sheep - female and kids. But just being in this environment to look, enjoy, marvel, sense.... hard to describe.
Beautiful. I want to go.
