Campers can begin planning their return to Jasper National Park less than one year after a devastating wildfire.
Parks Canada officials said reservations could start being booked starting Tuesday for frontcountry camping and self-registration campgrounds will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
They said those returning will notice the landscape in and around some campgrounds has changed and, with fewer trees, people may want to bring a gazebo or shelter for sun protection.
Officials said other sites will operate at a reduced capacity due to the wildfire and may open later in the season than normal.
Some trailheads, including Astoria and Wabasso Lake, remain under review for safety assessments.
