Jasper Park Lodge is more than the history of a hotel - it is also the story of the railway to Jasper NAtional PArk and the development of tourism, of entrepreneurs with a vision, of wild animals on the doorstep, of the rich and famous, of royality and movie stars, of courage and dedication in the face of disaster. The "Lodge" had humble beginnings in 1915. The story of Jasper Park Lodge is lavishly illustrated with historic photographs.
Great book to learn about how Jasper Park Lodge was founded and really impressive to see how it all started. As someone who worked there for several years, it was facinating to learn the history of a place I used to call home. If JPL is a place you know and love, it's definitely a good book to read.
