To thine own self be true

Arriving at a very quiet time

The Main Floor

The hotel caters to dogs and dog owners with a special weekend in May.

Down to the Lake Behind the Lodge

Lake Beauvert has many fish–these ones close to shore.

Lots of places to sit around the lake.

Back Inside: The Boutique Floor

A retro golf ball machine.

Bing Crosby with fedora, pipe, club and bear. Lots of famous visitors like Marilyn Monroe in the past.

The best art gallery in AB: 40 years in the biz. Fantastic paintings and Inuit sculpture.

All the hotel’s touches are aesthetic. The above is the rug on the boutique floor. Looks like a painting!

Carving from a totem pole in the Emerald Lounge.

A Maple Old Fashioned

2 oz. bourbon

Makers Mark Bourbon

Canadian maple syrup

Angostura bitters

$16

Jasper Park Lodge

Right side up, nary a ripple.

Nice place. Ask for the private rubber tree room (only 1 table). 30+ year-old rubber tree has taken over what used to be a room with several tables. Joanne is the long-time friendly co-owner who is a Real Person. The chicken souvlaki is outstanding.

Patricia Lake–note the red trees

On the road to the lakes above Jasper, the town has started removing stands of forest.

A window to sit near and a view of Nature outside.
