Snowshoeing trails wind through forests and along riverbanks, guided\u00a0tours\u00a0reveal how wildlife adapts to the season, and\u00a0sightseeing gondola\u00a0rides offer a relaxed way to take in the scenery.

Elk are\u00a0frequently\u00a0seen in open valleys, while wolves, coyotes and bighorn sheep\u00a0remain\u00a0active throughout the higher alpine. With fewer visitors and animals more visible against snow-covered ground, particularly at dawn and dusk, encounters can feel especially memorable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Jasper is also the world\u2019s second<\/span>\u2011<span data-contrast=\"auto\">largest Dark Sky Preserve, making it ideal for stargazing on clear winter nights.
