9 Shopping in Jasper That You Shouldn't Miss
Escape the urban bustle and make Jasper your home base for exploring Canada's extraordinary wilderness. As a mountain town, it's low-key and unpretentious with good food and drink; as a destination, it's an outdoor sports lover's playground, with hiking and golfing in summer and skiing and dog sledding in winter. If it's chilly, heat up at Miette Hot Springs in the National Park.

This is not your typical hotel art gallery. I was very much impressed with the variety of works by excellent Canadian artists. Every turn you made throughout the gallery provided a new experience as you are introduced to the next piece of art. Bravo!

We came to walk the Maligne Canyon on a day in early October with snow drifting down. There was a handwritten sign on the door saying "Closed today, open tomorrow". We peeked in through the windows and one manwas the owner, having a cup of coffee in the restaurant. He opened the gift shop and restaurant for us, and we not only found lovely jewelry (lots of amber and other unusual pieces) and books and of course calendars, but lots of original art. Then we discovered that this is really 3 businesses in one - a restaurant decorated in original First Nations art and sculpture, a gift shop and an art gallery with exquisite pieces carved in jade and other stones. I will never forget this experience with the gracious owner, the exquisite artwork, and the utter kindness that was shown to us on this cold snowy day.

We totally love this store, and it is a must visit if you are in jasper, they have unique items and it is the only place to buy Branded National parks Merch in the park. Plus their proceeds go to helping the park. The staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and genuinely are passionate about the park and this shows. They have locally made items and canadian specific when possible. Such a gem of a gift store. Keep up the good work!

Our museum offers an engaging, interactive record of Jasper’s fascinating history. Our exhibits include the history of the Indigenous and Metis people of the Athabasca Valley; the fur trade-including David Thompson, one of Canada’s foremost explorers; the railway; early mountaineering- including the story of the Silver Ice Axe and first ascent of Mount Alberta and the development of tourism in Jasper National Park. The exhibits in our Showcase Gallery are changed regularly & this year we are partnering with the Lake Edith Artist Group & associates to put together a 100th anniversary exhibit on the artist colony where we will be showcasing stories, art, artifacts, and historic photos of the last one hundred years. This collaborative effort will run from mid-April to the end of October 2021. We will also be hosting a social media competition that asks participants to recreate artwork or photographs in the exhibit in a new and inventive ways. Come & learn about "Our Jasper Stories".

The history of jasper and the park taking in the first nations, settlers, explorers, mountaineers, fur traders, railway workers, tourists and park rangers. Their special exhibition at the moment is about the internment camps around the area and further afield in Canada during the war and how those interned built a lot of the infrastructure for the national parks. Something I knew absolutely nothing about.
