Pieter van Loon and Joost Tijssen haven't necessarily been Jasper locals for long, but they've squeezed a lot of exploring into their time living in their adoptive town. With the launch of their new theatre production company and new show From Jasper, With Love, they're making their mark on this close-knit community and shining a spotlight on everything that makes Jasper beautiful, hilarious, and unique. Here, they share some of their favourite ways to spend time in the national park.
Get more of their story in the tenth episode of Venture Beyond: The Series.
Day 1
Morning – Lake Annette and Lake Edith
Get some nice coffee to go at one of the local java joints and head to some of Jasper's beautiful nearby lakes. Both picnic-friendly with walking trails in the area, Pieter and Joost recommend taking your time here and simply relaxing over breakfast with a view.
Evening - Jasper Theatre Productions
After a long day exploring all the beautiful things here in Jasper, you can just relax and have fun at this live theatre show. And you can even have a drink before the show as well. The perfect evening activity!
Day 2
Morning – Old Fort Point
The perfect hike with a gorgeous 360 degree view over the valley. Pieter and Joost love to do this short but steep hike with their dog. It's the perfect view to see how the town of Jasper sits in the valley.
