I got my bags back on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 535. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

waterfalls and majestic mountains, frozen waterfalls and glaciers and

and very strange habits of elk as we go to Jasper Alberta.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Without further

do let's talk about Jasper. I'd like to welcome to the show Larissa Orich, who's coming to us from Jasper in Alberta and

coming to talk to us about Jasper in Alberta.

Larissa, welcome to the show.

It's great to be here, Chris. And we have already done a show on Jasper, but when I checked, we have done it 10 years ago,

and I think we did it about a trip that I took the year after 9-11 when we wanted to stay someplace in North America.

So it's been a little while since we've talked about Jasper and it's been longer since I've been there. I think if I recall the episode you

were just on a road trip through all of the mountain parks here. I'd like to tell you

why you should have stopped and state in Jasper a little longer.

Well, yeah, and so we're not going to talk about the larger trip that we did, but if you're interested

in that, let me suggest an alternate itinerary, and this is a two-part episode way back in the

archives where we started in Calgary did Calgary Edmonton Jasper Bamp

and Lake Louise back to Calgary and then up to Drumheller, to the Badlands and the Royal

Turl Museum of Paleontology. So that is in the other episode, but we're going

to focus a little more on Jasper this time.

First of all, why should somebody come to Jasper if they don't know what they're missing?

If you're a nature lover or even if you're just a nature likeer you should come and visit
