The journey Begins

Day 1 – Arrive in Jasper

Drive to Jasper, which was originally a tiny railway town in the Canadian Rockies. Jasper's small-town charm is very different from the alpine resort style glamour of Banff. Surrounded by towering mountains, crystal clear lakes, and abundant wildlife, Jasper town located within the Jasper National Park is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Overnight: Jasper
Day 2 – Jasper Sightseeing

You start the day with a ride up Whistler Mountain on the Jasper SkyTram. Then, discover the Maligne Valley, a drive abundant in wildlife viewing opportunities and history of the surrounding natural landscapes. A short walk in to Maligne Canyon allows for fantastic views of ancient limestone carved by waterfalls. Next is Medicine Lake, a disappearing lake whose waters change seasonally as flow rates from surrounding glaciers fill the empty lake basin. A further scenic drive will take you to Maligne Lake, the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rocky Mountains for an amazing lake cruise on Maligne Lake to wrap up a day in a place of stunning natural beauty.

Overnight: Jasper
Day 3 – Jasper Sightseeing

We have a gentle river rafting experience today to experience the town and its surrounding natural beauty from a different perspective. On a two to three hours river experience, we will float through some amazing scenery and several small rapids and calm stretches of the river as the expert guide points out the natural history of the area as well as the history of human settlement of the Athabasca River valley in Jasper, once part of the fur traders route. The afternoon is free to explore Jasper.

Overnight: Jasper
Day 4 – Depart Jasper

Have an easy morning in Jasper exploring the town centre, and then head home on a leisurely drive through the towns of Hinton and Edson, to Edmonton or directly south on the Icefields Parkway towards Banff.
