Thinking of visiting Jasper in the winter? Try and time it with the Jasper in January winter festival, which is featured in our latest video!

We know it's been a while but this is our first video trip with the twins and we took them on one heck of an adventure, including a visit to Lake Louise, driving the Icefields Parkway, hiking to Peyto Lake, skiing at Marmot Basin, walking through Maligne Canyon, staying at the famous Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, and more!
