 Rain happens. If the forecast for tomorrow is for lots of rain, now is the time to make a reservation for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. The Jasper Park Lodge is one of the landmarks of Jasper National Park from the early days. And the afternoon tea is one of the most memorable meals you’ll have – a perfect way to keep the rain from dampening your spirits. Read more on Afternoon Tea: A Perfect Jasper National Park Rainy Day Activity…  Afternoon tea at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a real treat. This was my first time doing afternoon tea. I’m now a fan. The gourmet tea, the wide variety of tastes and textures of the food, the one-of-a-kind setting – it all makes for a enjoyable and memorable experience. You won’t find troops of tourists here either, so I’d have to argue it is off-the-beaten-path too. At the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge the tradition of afternoon tea starts with tea, then a tray of small sandwich foods and then a dessert tray. All of it is prepared with the utmost attention to detail.

While the Jasper Park Lodge gets props for being around since the early 1900s, the lodge benefits from the beauty of Lac Beauvert and the surrounding Canadian Rockies. Lac Beauvert is a small lake at only 0.4km2. Even for Jasper visitors not staying at Jasper Park Lodge, a trip to the lodge for the scenery is worth it. The lodge also has several dining options and the lake has a nice path along its edge. So, a dinner and a walk could make for a relaxing way to spend on evening after a day of Jasper National Park activities.

Me Reading the Done in a Day Jasper Hiking Book Kathy and Craig Copeland wrote the book in a mindful way, to help you appreciate the experience of day hiking in this corner of the Canadian Rockies. Introduction The book starts by introducing you to hiking in Jasper National Park, one of the gems of the Canadian Rockies. You’ll get a quick glimpse of what to do and where to eat in Jasper. You’ll learn what topographic maps are preferred and what weather to expect. The introduction also contains hiking advice. You’ll learn how to avoid bear encounters, why you should carry a compass, and how to prevent hypothermia. A few pages cover wilderness ethics, a topic every new hiker should read. The authors write: “We hope you’re already conscientious about respecting nature and other people. If not, here’s how to pay off some of your karmic debt load.” Part of this karmic debt load can be reduced, the authors explain, by staying on the trail and respecting follow hikers. I’m 100% behind that! Read more on Done in a Day Jasper: The 10 Premier Hikes – In-Depth Book Review… You’re in the right place for learning about things to do in Jasper National Park.
