The drive in will keep your heart pumping. Amazing, untouched wilderness with many photo ops. Saw caribou, elk, grizzly bear, lynx (bob cat?). The only down side were the folks in a rush that HAVE to drive 20kph faster than posted speed limits and couldn't be bothered to use trash cans.

Stopped into Maligne Canyon while taking a scenic drive. They have excellent parking facilities and great trails and bridges for hiking back and forth across the canyan. We didn't have much time to explore but would definitely check it out again when we had more time as we would like to complete the whole trail. Kids couldn't believe how deep... More

Only a 15 minute drive from the centre of Jasper offering fantastic views. There are various walks you can take depending on your stamina & you can then finish up at the tearoom! We saw 3 deer just by the tearoom.

Can be short or longer. We spent a couple of hours here walking the full trail and playing around in the dry riverbed. Also saw a nest of ravens that momma raven came to feed which was really neat.

I Thought It Was Very Pretty, But I Was Not Prepared For The Hike Down The Canyon. It Was VERY Slick & Icy & I Was Wearing Tennis Shoes With No Grip On The Bottom. The Sign Said It Was A 20-40 Minute Trip, But It Turned Into A 3 Hour Hike (The Reason I Gave A 4 Instead Of... More

We went as a family to Jasper as a weekend getaway. The sights are amazing. I love that this park is free (you have to pay to drive into Jasper - but no specific cost for this). It could take you hours (with children) to walk this. Canada beauty at its best !

If you're in Jasper in the winter you have to do an icewalk with a guide. It's so amazing! Better with a guide than alone because they can take you to all the great spots and know the safest way of getting around. You're also equipped with the right footware.

We booked a 6 pm ice walk with Jasper Adventures thru this beautiful frozen canyon. What a thrill to walk on the frozen river bed and look high up to the frozen icicles/ice walls. Caverns were fun to crawl thru for the adventurous or just simply following your guide thru the maze of land and river bed trails. Spectacular photos... More

We started at the 5th bridge and worked our way up. Because of our lack of ice cleats we didn't even make it to the fourth bridge, but we had a lot of fun slipping and sliding down the path. Thank goodness for those railings and my teenage son who helped guide my daughter and me over the most Icy... More
