Jasper National Park reopens to tourists 7 weeks after wildfire gutted city

The city of Jasper is taking another step towards getting back to normal after a wildfire forced 5,000 residents and 20,000 visitors to flee the town and the national park seven weeks ago. Starting Friday, tourists are allowed back, with some of the park's trails and day use areas available. Hotels are still not ready to welcome visitors and services across the city are still limited. “If you plan to travel to Jasper, check what’s open and available before you go,” officials said. Jasmine King reports from the mountain town, where there are mixed feelings about whether or not the town is truly ready to open for business.
