I think if there were any holiday homes i could hire out while i was over there then it would make jasper national park a great destination. I once stayed in a holiday home in Scotland and thought that was amasing. There wasn’t the slight pressure you had compared to when you stay in a hotel and i would love to have a similar experience in Jasper national park.
Great post and photography!
Thanks
Some people may find the holidays stressful because they may have family problems, but I love them. I always get along with both sides.
There are many places to visit in different areas of world. this national park is also one of them as well. In my point of view, we need only a day to visit this park.
