This tastefully designed booklet includes three full-page and 26 half-page black-and-white photos with plenty of text enticing travelers to take a Canadian National train to Jasper in the summer of 1928. Though the cover says “Jasper National Park,” the title page and almost every other interior page says, in large letters, “Jasper Park Lodge.”

The booklet was printed in February, 1928, but it twice mentions that September 8 to 15 would be “Jasper Golf Week.” Not being a golfer, I don’t really understand why someone would pay a lot of money to go to the Canadian Rockies only to play a game that they could play at home while missing so many other adventures that they couldn’t do at home. Fortunately, the booklet is not hesitant to describe those adventures, including hiking, horseback riding, fishing, boating, mountaineering, and wildlife viewing.

This booklet is not from my collection; instead, I downloaded it from a Parks Canada web site. I am including it here so that it will be possible to compare in one place as many Jasper booklets that CN published over the years as possible.
