Small lake and marsh in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada

Can you picture 11,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness?

That's Jasper National Park in Alberta.

Established in 1907 as part of a growing network of protected landscapes in the Canadian Rockies, it was designated a national park in 1930.

The park reflects both conservation efforts and much older Indigenous connections, including those of the Nakoda and Secwépemc peoples.

Its terrain ranges from glacier-fed rivers and alpine meadows to dense conifer forests dominated by spruce and pine.
