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.

Mag­i­cal Jasper

What is it about rain­bows that makes peo­ple stop in their tracks? One thing is for sure, top off a raft trip with a rain­bow at the very end and you’ll know you’re sure not in Kansas anymore!

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.
