The warm weather over the past few days has us looking forward to the upcoming hiking season (though a more seasonally-appropriate winter storm is about to roll into the region today!). Keep an eye on this space over the next few weeks for new guided adventures in Jasper and Mount Robson Provincial Park for Summer 2024. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Before this last storm cycle the Jasper Townsite had great sundog viewing. Sundog (or parhelion) are pairs of rainbow circles or arcs that appear on either side of the sun from cirrostratus or moist valley clouds (and can often foretell stormy weather soon!). #MyJasper


For Spring/Summer 2024 we have expanded our collection of locally designed postcards from Jasper National Park. Be on the lookout for cards at several retailers in and around Jasper, or drop us a line if you'd like a card mailed to you (at cost in BTC or fiat)! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

Weather changes are in the air around Jasper. A winter storm blew in yesterday evening with some models showing up to 20 cm above town over this weekend! 🎵Let is snow, let it snow, let is snow🎵 #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Our owner and lead guide Ben was on Business Bitcoinization to talk about the challenges and benefits of bitcoin for our backcountry small-business. Check it out on Fountain or whatever your podcast app of choice is. #StackSatsStackSteps #bitcoin #canadianrockies

Scattered across Jasper National Park are many odd looking cages that have been put in place to compare vegetation with and without animal grazing. Some of these plots have been in place since the 1940s and help biologists to determine the relationship between the plants and wild beasties that call the park home. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Nestled near the shore of the Athabasca River east of town sits the Madeline and Ewan Moberly Homestead (which is a peaceful place particularly in the winter!). The cabins were originally built and occupied in 1903 and predated Jasper National Park! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

Warm winds have started blowing through the Canadian Rockies. The Kinbasket Reservoir (shown here) is the western boundary of the range; cracks and ridges in its icy surface make for neat images from above. #CanadianRockies #Photography #Valemount

Another new offering for Summer 2024. For those short on time looking to explore Cairn Pass along Jasper's South Boundary Trail, check out this helicopter assisted 4 day trip. Our adventure starts flying into Rocky Pass, just outside of the Jasper Park boundary, travels along the Medicine Tent River over Cairn Pass, and finishes with a helicopter-pickup near the lower Southesk River. Spectacular scenery, serene forest, and wildlife-viewing potential exist on this remote section of trail. As ever, we accept #bitcoin and #lightning for payment for all of our adventures.

Slipping and sliding around town yesterday morning still saw some special sights. Warmer temperatures and higher humidity than we often get around Jasper has made morning ice fog a not uncommon experience in the past couple weeks. #MyJasper #winterinjasper #photography #canadianrockies

Yesterday's ramble lead eastwards around the Celestine Lake Road capturing this image blending summer and winter. While in the summer this road can access North Boundary Trail, it's often a lonely place during the winter. #MyJasper #Photography #CanadianRockies
