Jasper National Park Is Closed
« on: July 25, 2024, 10:14:37 pm »
A horrific wildfire has destroyed half of the town of Jasper.
The Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) and the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) are closed.
Given the extent of the damage, Jasper National Park may remains closed for the rest of the season.

It is one of the most beautiful bike rides in North America.

Truly a shame.  I pray no lives were lost.

Jasper is a great place, very sorry this happened.

What a gorgeous place to ride (or hike), although it's been 40+ years for me
