WE ARRiVED SAFELY iN JASPER, NATSKi’S HOMETOWN. SHE HAD A LOT OF THiNGS ON THE TO-DO LiST FOR US TO DO! EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WASN’T COOPERATiNG WiTH US, WE STiLL TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE EXTRAORDiNARY NATURE.
PLACES TO STAY
WE ViSiTED A QUEBECER, JACQUES, WHO NEVER LEFT JASPER ONCE HE STEPPED FOOT iN TOWN. NOW HE RUNS AN AFFORDABLE HOSTEL, JASPER DOWNTOWN HOSTEL, THAT ACCOMMODATES 100 PEOPLE. iT’S THE FiRST HOSTEL TO OPEN iN JASPER.
Jasper has quite a bit to offer. It’s great for families. An escape into the wilderness. it has over 200 miles of hikes, trials, cycling, boating, rafting, fishing, you name it. It’s a really trendy town.
JDS & BATO CRASHED AT WHiSTLERS iNN BECAUSE JACQUES HOSTEL WAS ALL BOOKED UP. THE WHiSTLERS iNN WAS BY FAR THE MOST COMFiEST PLACE ON THE JOURNEY SO FAR, BEiNG THE BEDS WERE SO BiG AND COZY. EVEN THOUGH WE SLEPT FOR A SHORT TiME, WE SLEPT DEEPLY AND FELT REFRESHED FOR THE NEXT DAY’S ADVENTURE. THE BEDS MADE A HUGE DiFFERENCE. THE RATES WERE SO GREAT, TOO.
ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR A STORY OR TWO
JACQUES WAS KiND ENOUGH TO SiT WiTH US AND TELL US HiS PAST EXPERiENCES. WE WERE AMUSED BY HiS STORY TELLiNG.
