Where Should I Go, Jasper, Or Ottawa?

I Have never been on a plane before and this summer i have saved up and i want to go away. I have family in both Ottawa Ontario and In Jasper Alberta And I cannot go to both places but I am wondering which one I should choose? HELP!

Depends on what you are hoping to see and do (other than visit with family)...Ottawa is a much bigger city than Jasper.

If you want to hang out in a smaller town, in the middle of the beautiful Rocky Mountains with: "Mountain sheep, bears, wolves, elk and mountain goats have a secure home here, and can often be seen when simply driving down the road. To improve the chance of spotting a Grizzly bear, adventure seekers can opt for a hiking tour or explore the surrounding wilderness on horseback. But even from inside the car, the mountain views are spectacular. In particular, the road south of Jasper to Lake Louise is renowned for its breathtaking vistas." (1st website listed below) then Jasper should be your choice; however,

If you want to hang out in a bigger city (and the Capital Of Canada) then Ottawa is the city for you! If you are there for a while, then you may enjoy a visit to Toronto or Montreal, or Niagara Falls!

Good luck and have fun on your first plane trip and enjoy whichever place you choose to visit!!

Ottawa Ontario

Ottawa's a big city whereas Jasper is a resort town. Jasper is super cool and so much fun, but Ottawa has all the city stuff going for it. depends what kind of vacation you're looking for. i would personally recommend Jasper because once you've seen one city, you've seen them all. Go for something different!!

Ottawa is a beauty. Great people and lots to see and do.
