A Walk in the Past Jasper’S Self Guided Tours Fancy Yourself a Drifter? Channel Your Inner-Explorer and Lose Yourself in Time Jasper...A Walk in the Past Jasper’s Self Guided Tours Fancy yourself a drifter? Channel your inner-explorer and lose yourself in time. You’re steps away from discovering historic Jasper, where dusty pack-horses rested near pool halls, wanderers found one-off shacks nes- tled within the pines, and weary travellers swapped tales of new frontiers. Just what kind of characters were passing through, you wonder, as the train whistle hints at forgotten places, vagabond faces and a time gone by forever? The morning light casts a pinkish hue on Mount Tekarra and a mule deer trots across a path where a campfire once blazed and sizzled in the chill of the alpine air. Amble on Through... Welcome to our self-guided tour of the town site of Jasper, located in the heart of Jasper National Park. Take on the town we call home. Jasper National Park – Our rise to recognition Jasper National Park garnered world attention once Canada deemed our rocky oasis federally protected land in 1907. At the time, it was known as the Jasper Forest Reserve until 1930. And half a century later, UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) declared Jasper National Park a World Heritage Site along with the Na- tional Parks of Banff, Kootenay, and Yoho, and the Provincial Parks of Mt. Robson, Mt. Assiniboine, and Hamber. In 2007, Jasper National Park cele- brated 100 years as the cherished, protected land we continue to celebrate.

  • Jasper Park Lodge
    er umild Natio/tat/ park 161 CANADIAN ROCKI ES HERE'S something about mountains! Merely to be among them, on the tops looking down or—as it is with most people—in the valleys looking up, is a tonic for body and soul. You are carried along on the rhythm of their rolling slopes, lifted up with their soaring summits; the snow and ice and the shining lakes are eternally refreshing; the rivers and the cataracts driving impetuously to the sea quicken your pulse, and the air is like wine. "Great things are done when men and mountains meet!" exclaimed the poet William Blake. "This is not done while jostling in the street." In the mountains you are stimulated to do great things —to climb the highest peaks, to ride horseback or hike for miles, to get a better golf score, catch a bigger fish, take photographs you never dreamed of taking. Free of the humdrum workaday world, you get a second wind, a new lease on life. But you don't have to be as energetic as all that! You can be invigorated and restored without working too hard at it. The mountains for you may be a simmering down. Like the gentleman in the definition of Con- fucius, you can be calm and spacious. In Jasper National Park great things have been done for you and all you have to do is enjoy them. The text and photographs in the following pages can give you only a few of the highlights of this great playground in the northern Canadian Rockies.

WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

Abstract This research examines home life as experienced by single and married National Park Wardens, their partners and children who resided year-round in the backcountry of Jasper National Park (JNP) between 1952 and 1972. Since the establishment of JNP in 1907, park wardens were responsible for maintaining, monitoring and patrolling large backcountry districts, and used cabins as home bases and overnight shelters. Although the district system officially ended in 1969 and no wardens have lived year-round in the backcountry since 1972, these historic cabins remain in the park and are maintained for use by current park personnel.

More than four thousand square miles—a veritable empire of virgin loveliness—are encompassed within its boundaries. Hundreds of mountain peaks, many of them yet unclimbed, pierce the very clouds and challenge the alpinist to his greatest endeavor. Beautiful lakes, majestic in their scenic setting, mirror in their placid blue waters towering mountains capped with eternal snows. Streams, varying from the brawling mountain torrent to the mighty river, intersect this greatest of Canada's national playgrounds. Forested valleys, tree-clad slopes and alpine meadows abound with animal and bird life. Jasper National Park, a haven of refuge for members of the animal kingdom, is also a haven of rest and enjoyment for man. In this new world of wonder and delight the visitor escapes from the hurry and bustle of modern existence, and the hurly-burly of the workaday world. For here man has made his influence felt only to the extent that he has made Nature in her grandest moods more accessible.

  • The Use of Repeat Terrestrial Photography in the Study of Landslide Hazards K.D
    THE USE OF REPEAT TERRESTRIAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE STUDY OF LANDSLIDE HAZARDS K.D. Hincks, University of Alberta, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Canada D.M. Cruden, University of Alberta, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Canada ABSTRACT A photograph from the Dominion terrestrial photogrammetric survey in 1928 by M.P. Bridgland contributed to a study of a landslide that occurred on the south shore of Brazeau Lake in Jasper National Park in 1933. The newly created Bridgland Repeat Photography website, at http://bridgland.sunsite.ualberta.ca/ contains 2 sets of 735 photographs of Jasper National Park, the original set of photos taken in 1915 and the repeat set of photos taken in 1999. We used these photos to look for signs of slope movement in the Colin Range, Jasper National Park. We found evidence of rock fall and debris flow. The photos proved worthwhile as a reconnaissance of the area, and for identifying areas of movement and stability within the 84 years between the original set and the repeat set of photographs. As repeat photography projects become more frequent, it is likely that these databases will provide an opportunity to extend the study of landscape changes over a longer period of time, thus learning more about how landscapes change and the time period over which they change. While air photos may prove more useful in the last 50 years, as there is a much more comprehensive database of airphotos, repeat photography projects are useful in studying landscape changes, either on their own, or else in conjunction with air photo interpretation over time periods over twice as long.
