Description
This is the City of Jasper, Alberta, Canada and it has a population of between 4,000 and 5,000, according to the seasons of the year. I took this photo from the top of Whistlers Mountain 7,473 feet (2,277 m). The mountain range in the background is the Colin Range. The brown strip along the right side of town is the railroad yards. The muddy Athabasca River is to the right of the railroad yards and the road out of town, heading south, is the Ice Field Parkway.
Jasper National Park is Canada's largest Rocky Mountain Park, one of North America's largest natural areas - spanning 4,200 sq. miles (11,228 sq. km). Shimmering glaciers, abundant wildlife, crystal clear lakes, thundering waterfalls, deep canyons and evergreen forest surrounded by towering, rugged mountain peaks are a perfect backdrop to the friendly, laid back, authentic mountain town called Jasper. Zoom would be helpful.
Taken with a film camera (July & August 1988) and recently scanned.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.

Some time ago I walked there as well and ventured a few miles along Indian Ridge which goes west from where you were for this photo. When the path finally disappeared I thought I was somewhere where not too many had walked before...until I looked down and saw a Kodak film wrapper...dang! Yes, I did pick it up. Great shot, and in good weather! Yopu can also see the Jasper airport strip just above the center of the photo.

Ah, so that's how Jasper looks from the air. I recall riding the train through there on my way to Vancouver 1n February 1978. At the stop in Jasper, a girl got into the seat beside mine and we talked a bit about Jasper - she told me the day before, a mountain lion had sauntered into town just after sunrise. When people started coming out, it sauntered back to where it had come from. I found this quite interesting since such animals tend to avoid human habitation. Nice photo, and thanks for refreshing my memory. Keep up the good work! :)

Gorgeous vista, Dana! I had a most busy and tiring day today so that's why I'm going to keep my comments short. And I may miss Sunday altogether due to previous committments.
