The scenery (mountains, lake and forest) is very nice there and you may see wildlife on the way if you are lucky ...

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.

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 !
