What to Do in Jasper

Golf, swimming, hiking, saddle trips, motor trips, boat trips, dancing, and motion pictures are just some of the things this booklet says were available to do in Jasper in 1936. The prices seem incredibly low — $2 for a round of golf, $5 a night to stay at a chalet, meals included — but remember to multiply by 16.5 to convert to today’s U.S. dollars.

As was common for many CN booklets about Jasper, the cover shown above was the back cover. It was also the only color image in the booklet; black-and-white was good enough for people who were already at Jasper Lodge looking for things to do.

The scans of this booklet came from archive.org, which erroneously put the above page on the front cover. I cleaned it up a bit and made a new PDF with the covers in their proper places.
