HIGHLIGHTS

LOOK FOR M TO FIND RECOMMENDED SIGHTS, ACTIVITIES, DINING, AND LODGING.

M Columbia Icefield: Don’t miss this glacial area at the southern end of Jasper National Park. Take the Ice Explorer tour to get a close-up view of this natural wonder (click here).

M Wilcox Pass: Escape the crowds lingering around the Icefield Centre on this hike, where the panorama of the Columbia Icefield is laid out in all its glory (click here).

M Maligne Canyon: Easy access makes this attraction extremely popular. Visit before 9am to miss the tour-bus crowd (click here).

M Maligne Lake: The most famous body of water in Jasper National Park. And for good reason-it’s simply stunning. Take a tour boat to Spirit Island or hike the Lake Trail (Mary Schäffer Loop) along the lake’s eastern shore (click here).

M Mount Edith Cavell: Although this peak is visible from various points within the park, no vantage point is as memorable as that from its base, reachable by road from Highway 93A. For a neck-straining view, take the Cavell Meadows Trail (click here).

M Bald Hills Trail: The vast majority of visitors to Maligne Lake don’t travel past the lake’s shoreline. Go beyond the ordinary on this trail, which provides stunning views of the whole Maligne Valley from alpine meadows (click here).

M Astoria River/Tonquin Valley Trail: A trail up the Astoria River leads to the Tonquin Valley, one of the park’s most spectacular sights. If you aren’t equipped for backcountry camping, consider riding in on horseback and staying at one of two wilderness lodges (click here).

M Mount Robson Provincial Park: Mount Robson rises high above lush forests and rushing waterfalls in this beautiful park to the west of Jasper (click here).
