Jasper Alberta offers a taste of the unspoiled West as you always dreamed it to be. Surrounded by stunning mountains, pristine lakes, and teeming with wildlife, this natural wonderland is mere hours from Edmonton and just waiting to be explored. For some, the remarkably scenic drive from Calgary or Edmonton to Jasper National Park is in itself, a major part of the adventure. Many have found that hiring a limo company to provide the transportation so they can concentrate on the scenery and the experience, is the best way to go—invite a few friends to keep costs down, and spend a few days getting away from it all. It is a great way to travel in luxury and style, and, no matter the weather, to have transportation at your beck and call for your whole stay in this sparkling gem of a western town.
There are great places to eat and lodges and cabins for rent in and around Jasper National Park. Some of the wildlife that you might see in the area, and sometimes even from the road on the drive there, include: deer, elk, mountain sheep, and yes, even bears and wolves. If you want to go further into the wilderness, there are several great backpacking treks or guided horseback tours.
If the Icefields Parkway is to be your route to Jasper, you are in luck, as it is simply a spectacular way to go. This road is nearly universally considered to be one of the most scenic drives in North America, on a par with some of the roads you will find in wildest Alaska, but with modern conveniences. Many folks bring some snacks and have a picnic along the way, while snapping some pics of the amazing scenery.
Once you are there and lodging is secured, you will want to get in your limo (or if you are with a large group, perhaps you have rented a limo party bus) and take in some of the well known scenic sites that will take your breath away, such as Lake Louise, Spirit Island, and Athabasca Glacier.
Don’t forget your bathing suits. After a long day hiking, sight-seeing, and taking in all the natural wonders, nothing hits the spot like a nice long soak in Miette Hot Springs. These springs are rated as one of the top ten Jasper National Park experiences. The minerals in the water will both soothe and nourish your skin, while the warmth and beautiful surroundings will completely relax your body and mind. Thanks to your limo, your driver can safely deliver your very relaxed group back to your cabin.
A trip to Jasper is a great way to reunite with friends or family, have an unforgettable bachelor or bachelorette weekend, or just a romantic getaway. A limo driver familiar with the area can not only shuttle you around, but can also make sure you and your group know all the best places to experience and might even recommend some less touristy locales. After all, why stay in the city when such a beautiful wilderness is so easy to get to?
