Jasper National Park Alberta, Canada

The Canadian Rockies always get the highest of praise from visitors. Now we know why. There are more WOWs! per kilometer than any other place we’ve ever visited. They begin with towering, rugged snowy peaks (many with glaciers) that march on and on, milky-white glacial streams and fast-flowing crystal-clear emerald rivers, limpid reflection pools and lakes and breathtaking falls; they continue with road-side sightings of herds of big-horn sheep, grazing elk, posing white-tail deer, and foraging bears.
