As dusk settles over Jasper National Park, Alberta, the stars begin to dot the sky, glittering like diamonds. This panorama is no accident—as a designated Dark Sky Preserve since 2011, Jasper has made strides to protect its nocturnal environment, minimising light pollution and allowing stargazers to witness the galaxy"s splendour unhindered. Jasper National Park is the largest national park within Alberta"s Rocky Mountains, spanning 11,000 square kilometres.
