…th the great sots in New York, New Haven or Italy but it was excellent for Canada and certainly for Jasper. Stay As with any tourist-oriented town, jasper has a variety of accommodation to choose from. I stayed at the Tekarra Lodge, which is about a mile outside of town, just across the train tracks and the Trans-Canada Highway. It was excellent and really gives you a great feel for what Jasper has to offer. The cabins are self sufficient and free…

…and staff were fantastic. Exactly what you’d expect in a Fairmont hotel in Canada. In fact, I’ve literally stayed in just about all of them all over the country.

In fact, I even taped a Fox News TV segment via Skype from my room at the Fairmont Tremblant. I wouldn’t even think twice,…

Quebec City just oozes France around the magical streets of Vieux Quebec or Old Quebec City. Its charming cobblestone streets snake around hilly curves much like Montmartre in Paris.
