Review & FAQ:

Although not as well known as neighboring Banff National Park, Jasper National Park has just as many reasons to visit. The area is one of the largest dark sky preserves in the world, meaning that artificial light pollution is restricted so that the beauty of the night sky can be seen as clearly as possible.

The best time for aurora spotters to visit is between September and May, but be aware that the park and the town are typically very busy in mid-October as this is when the Jasper Dark Sky Festival takes place.
