Jasper is the largest and most northerly Canadian rocky mountain national park, and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Jasper reaches across 10,878 square kilometres (4200 square miles) of expansive valleys, rugged mountains, glaciers, forests teamed with wildlife, alpine meadows and untamed rivers along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in western Alberta. There are more than 1200 kilometres (660 miles) of hiking trails and a number of spectacular mountain drives.

The road to Mount Edith Cavell, is one of the most spectacular drives in the park. It got its name in1916 to honor the heroic British nurse executed during World War 1 for assisting prisoners of war to escape German-occupied Belgium.

Watch for animals on the roadways. Drive with care and be prepared to avoid a collision at alltimes. Be especially cautious at dusk and dawn, when visibility is poor and animals are most active.
