    Terra Restaurant Review Jasper- A Culinary Experience Inspired by the Earth

    July 19, 2022 /

    Jasper’s newest restaurant, Terra, is a unique eatery that gives guests a literal “taste” of Jasper. Located inside The Crimson Hotel, Terra boasts dishes made using local ingredients that bring the heart of Jasper into each and every item on the menu. In Latin, Terra means Earth, which is the exact vibe that the menu gives guests through its various takes on cuisine that often utilizes unexpected but delicious ingredients found within Jasper. Terra opened on June 10th, 2022, and Wander Woman Travel Magazine attended a media preview event where we got to sample the menu and learn about the conception of Terra Restaurant in Jasper. We wanted to give…

    From Banff to Jasper – A Complete Guide to Canada’s Most Spectacular Drive

    April 17, 2021 /

    The Banff to Jasper drive along the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) is one of the most scenic journeys on the planet and is the ultimate Canadian Rockies road trip. You’ll drive past impossibly blue lakes, cascading waterfalls, towering mountain peaks and over a hundred glaciers. There’s a good chance you’ll spot wildlife on the drive from Banff to Jasper or the Jasper to Banff drive- it’s equally good in either direction. There aren’t many places in the world where you can see so much in just 288 kilometres (179 miles). If you rushed it, you could do this drive in three-and-a-half hours, but why would you? There is so much…

    Wilcox Pass – The Hike with Absolutely Amazing Athabasca Glacier Views

    March 27, 2021 /

    The Athabasca Glacier is one of the most incredible sites along the Icefields Parkway. Whenever we make the journey from Banff to Jasper, we stop there. You can’t drive past it without stopping. It’s a rule in our family. No matter how many times I have seen it, this enormous glacier never ceases to amaze me. Last September, my husband and I decided it was time to get a bird’s eye view of the glacier and the surrounding mountains on the Wilcox Pass hike. This phenomenal day hike has the best views of the Athabasca Glacier we’ve ever seen. When we sat in the red chairs, we didn’t want to…

    Jasper Icewalk – Discover Maligne Canyon in Winter

    March 3, 2021 /

    Hiking the deepest canyon in Jasper National Park is an incredible experience in any season, but it’s particularly special in winter. When the canyon freezes, you get the opportunity to see frozen waterfalls and other incredible ice formations. It’s nature’s artistry at its finest. It’s wonderful to walk along the snow-covered trails near the canyon’s edge, but a Jasper icewalk lets you walk on the frozen Maligne River and see the ice formations close up.

    Jasper Brunch – Best Food and Coffee Restaurants

    October 10, 2020 /

    Brunch is the perfect meal for those of us who prefer dining a little later in the morning. It is not breakfast and it isn’t lunch either – it’s a little bit of both. The word itself is a portmanteau generated when you put parts of two words together to create a new word. When you splice the “br” from breakfast with the “unch” from lunch, you get the word “brunch.” The word “brunch” first appeared in print in a Pennsylvania newspaper in 1896, so the idea has been around a long time. On a recent visit to Jasper National Park, we spent several days exploring the best spots to…

    Jasper Wildlife Watching – Amazing Photos and Tips

    November 1, 2019 /

    Jasper National Park is the largest and wildest of Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks and it is a fantastic place for wildlife watching. On a recent visit, we rounded a corner on the Maligne Lake road and spotted a small herd of bighorn sheep including an absolutely enormous ram. His massive horns curled around his head and he looked up at us from a spot near the edge of the road. He was absolutely beautiful. Here are some of our favorite photos and some suggestions for how to find and photograph wildlife in Jasper. There are affiliate links in this post.
