10. Do Some Stargazing In Jasper National Park’s Dark Sky Preserve
As an officially acknowledged Dark Sky Preserve, Jasper National Park consistently strives to significantly reduce the effects of light pollution. With 11,000 square kilometers, it’s the second-largest dark sky reserve in the world. The end result is a pitch-black sky with brilliant stars.
Even though you can enjoy the night sky all year long, the Jasper Dark Sky Festival happens in the middle to end of October each year. The festival features a symphony under the stars, workshops on night sky photography, moon viewing events, planetarium visits, and an impressive roster of scientific speakers. It should not be missed if you have a passion for the stars. Jasper National Park is also home to a variety of wildlife such as elk, moose, and bears. It is an exceptional place to visit if you are interested in a truly unforgettable experience.
