Morning light slices the peaks above Jasper as you step away from the townsite and into a world that still moves at glacier-time. Your guide, a park resident for decades, reads the landscape like a map and a story—pointing out carved cirques, the pale ribbons of ancient ice, and a lake that turns turquoise when the sun angers the silt.
