The best photos of Jasper aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Maligne Lake will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Path of the Glacier Trail for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The largest park in the Canadian Rockies — a vast wilderness of glaciers, turquoise lakes, and dark sky preserves in Alberta.

Jasper attracts visitors for nature and hiking, and Maligne Lake and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Path of the Glacier Trail reward those who wander off the main path.
