Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. The Park is named after Jasper Hawes, who operated a trading post in the region for the North West Company.
Jasper National Park is noted for the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield, springs, lakes, waterfalls and mountains. The wildlife in Jasper National Park attracts thousands of people around the world.
The Park is successful in maintaining healthy population of plants and animals even while there is a dramatic decline in wildlife in most parts of North America since the past 200 years. Jasper National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
