The town of Jasper is pretty cool. Its not overrun completely by large chains. You can also see elk just walking around the town. The candy store in town is awesome to.
This is a nice place to visit. Has some nice restaurants, coffee shops... its right by the lake and has some nice beach area and walking paths and of course has the hot springs.
I have never been to a lake that vehicles could drive on and people could ice fish. Was cool to see. I will have to try it some day. We walked out on the lake which was cool enough. I think this place would be great in the summer. Was a very nice area.
