Banff & Jasper National Parks in September? in Nature Posted May 1, 1997 Don't forget beds & breakfasts. I stayed in an excellent one in Jasper townsite in September '95 for about $35 a night (Canadian). The weather is nice (still mild in the day, though crisp at night) and there are a lot less people than in the summer. There are many nice walks. Be sure to check out Maligne Canyon and, if you can afford it, take the boat ride past Spirit Island on Maligne Lake (I missed this, unfortunately). Mount Edith Cavell is impressive, too; I got some great alpenglow pictures at sunset with some incredible cloud patterns. <p> If you have the time and will be in Banff, consider driving an hour or two west and go to Mount Revelstoke National Park (you can drive nearly to the top of the mountain; it's really interesting). Glacier National Park (west of Revelstoke) is beautiful, too. I got a great photo of some giant cedars there that won first place in the SaskAmateur photographic competition last week. <p> Jim
