Starry Nights in Jasper

Night Sky Preserve

Michael Har­ris got it right when he com­pared Jasper’s night skies to Van Gogh’s Starry Nights.

IJune Moon over Patricia LakeJune Moon over Patri­cia Lake took this photo in late June. It was almost mid­night yet still bright out. You sure do get your money’s worth when you vaca­tion in Jasper. Every day is like almost 2 days any­where else with all the day­light this beau­ti­ful North­ern Rock­ies park enjoys.

In the sum­mer, you have to be pretty patient, wait­ing for the dark skies to arrive. But, when they do, the show is amazing.

If you’re lucky enough to own an iPad, be sure to install GoSky­Watch Plan­e­tar­ium for iPad — the astron­omy star guide. It’s an incred­i­ble teach­ing tool for zoom­ing in on & iden­ti­fy­ing constellations.

Mother’s Day Sunday May 12th

motherHey! Are you for­get­ting something?

This com­ing Sun­day, May 12th, is Mother’s Day. How about treat­ing your mom, gramma, aunts … all those great women who looked after you …  Well, how about treat­ing them to a fun after­noon of rafting?

Our spe­cially designed, safe, com­fort­able rafts are per­fect for the whole fam­ily, from the very young to the very old.

Make the whole day spe­cial: You’ve got time to go out for break­fast then join us at noon for 2 1/2 hours of care­free fun where we look after all the details. We’ll even take the pic­tures for you.

But book now. The rafts are fill­ing up & it’s look­ing like we’re going to have great weather this weekend.

We love deals! Do you?

We love great deals just as much as any­one. How great that The Fair­mont Jasper Park Lodge has spe­cial pro­mos for BC & Alberta Res­i­dents: Come play in your back yard, Jasper! Of course, while you’re stay­ing at the lodge, take advan­tage of shut­tle ser­vice to come out rafting.

And, any­one from any­where can book the “99 Ways to Play Spring Vaca­tion Pack­age.” You get the con­ve­nience of book­ing your raft trip though the lodge’s concierge & charg­ing the trip to your room. The concierge will take care of arrange­ments includ­ing trans­porta­tion. Plus, you get a $99 credit per night that can be used towards your raft trip.

Their Spring Mid­week Travel Pack­age gives you $50 towards activ­i­ties, like raft trips, booked through your concierge. Get away mid­week & save money.

How sweet is that?

Just because there’s a lit­tle snow on the ground and maybe even some ice on the river, doesn’t mean we can’t go rafting.

We’re Cana­dian, eh?

And we’re get­ting pretty pumped that the 2013 raft­ing sea­son is approaching.

We’ll keep you posted about open­ing day.
