As someone who loves a quiet trail and a well-marked path, I’ve found that some of the most breathtaking landscapes are the ones that invite you to simply sit, observe, and breathe.

As a person who doesn’t drive myself, I don’t know if I’d ever have had the chance to explore Jasper, if I didn’t go with my cross-Canada Contiki group. But the advantages of having our tour bus and a group of new friends to travel with were undeniable.
