Ehh! yes very canadian of me lol, ok so I live in Alberta canada and so far i’ve headed up to the mountains (jasper/banff/hinton) many many times a year since the time i was 5, running up the side of the mountain with no parental figure bear mace or yada yada, i’ve still never seen a bear except once from a far distance in a vehicle and so basically im just commenting to reassure some of the non-canadians for example chris from germany, there’s no need to fear coming here and playin in the bushes it’s very rare that you will accually come into contact with let alone even see a bear however we go into so much depth of saying watch out because if it ever did happen it’s very likely it could result in fatality. like i said tho extremely rare and watch your back we have some lovely parks and you shouldnt let the warning signs sway you to overthink spending a few nights out here!

cheers!

The family and I love camping and have a great trip planed for the 24th September, hiking, Fishing etc etc…we also find that bringing the extended family and friends makes for an even better experience…we try for 15-20 people for every trip and basically take over.

This is great information. The camping rates are relatively cheap and the area is so beautiful. I would stress again the importance of storing food in bear-proof containers: you’d be surprised what they can get into and what they can find! Basically, this will be a great holiday if you do the research before you go.

My family and I really enjoy camping. We live close to two canyons that are beautiful and have tons of camping spots. You just have to make sure you have all the equipment you need to be comfortable: camping chairs, warm clothes, warm sleeping bags, lanterns, dutch ovens or grills, etc. If you are comfortable, you will enjoy it. It’s good to be out in nature and be reminded of how fortunate we are to have all that we do.

Food storing is one of the most toughest thing to do in wild camping. I haven’t tried Jasper park yet. But I think I will need to check it out and see. Thanks.

In Banff and Jasper there are food storage lockers, but you can also store food in hard sided vehicles. I have camped in yosemite and know that the black bears get into cars. This is not the case in Jasper.

The site is powered by WordPress and a handful of plug-ins. The theme CSS is customized a lot but otherwise, WordPress is very powerful. I also use Drupal on other travel sites and find the time spent configuring Drupal takes away from time writing about travel. I like WordPress better…and I’ve used both WordPress and Drupal for 4+ years.

The Jasper National Park photo gallery is using Gallery2 and a lot of customization.
