When it comes to finding moments of beauty, the mountains never disappoint. Even throughout the difficult year that was 2020, Jasper locals and visitors managed to capture the national park's stunning landscapes (and wilder residents!) through photography and were kind enough to share these images online with the community.
Here are five of the most popular images that were shared through Jasper's Instagram platform. We hope they put you in the same peaceful state of mind as they did for us. If they also inspire you to share your own images of Jasper with us, tag your images on Instagram with #myjasper and #venturebeyond for a chance to be featured.

This adventure photographer, filmmaker and writer is based in the Canadian Rockies, and boy does he make the most of it.

His latest film project documents a year of heartfelt bikepacking in Rockies.
Photographer: Joms de Guzman
Another Jasper local! Joms' photo of the Icefields Parkway really captured the spirit of adventure that this famous highway represents. With his particular interest in nature and landscape photography, we can think of nowhere better for this talented photographer to develop his craft.
