If you’re driving to Alaska, don’t make the mistake of skipping Jasper National Park. Many people told us Jasper was too damaged after the devastating 2024 wildfire—but we wanted to see the recovery for ourselves. What we found surprised us.
Join us as we leave beautiful Banff National Park and travel one of the most spectacular highways in the world—the Icefields Parkway. Along the way we stop at breathtaking turquoise lakes, roaring waterfalls, towering glaciers, and some of the most incredible mountain scenery we’ve ever experienced.
When we arrive in Jasper National Park, we explore the town, see how it’s recovering from the wildfire, and discover that Jasper is still an amazing destination worth visiting.
We also begin our Living Phase 2 Cinnamon Roll Challenge with an unforgettable stop at Bear Paw Bakery, find an awesome free boondocking campsite near Grande Prairie (complete with an unexpected comedy show!), share our best tips for buying diesel fuel in Canada, and finish the day crossing from Alberta into British Columbia as we continue our RV journey to Alaska.
If you’re planning an Alaska RV trip, a Canadian Rockies vacation, or simply love scenic road trips, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical travel tips. If you enjoy our adventures, please Like, Subscribe, and join the Phase 2 Flock as we continue our journey to Alaska!
