Day 3: Jasper National Park

Originally a tiny railway town, Jasper's small-town charm is very different from the alpine resort glamour of Banff. Surrounded by towering mountains, clear lakes, and abundant wildlife, Jasper is located within Jasper National Park, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. We start the day with a scenic drive to Maligne Lake, the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. As we continue deeper into the valley, we drive into the sub-alpine forests and view the expanding limestone ranges rising out of Medicine Lake. This mysterious disappearing lake changes seasonally as the flow rates of melt waters fill and empty this basin. A stop is made to photograph this natural wonder. From Medicine Lake, we continue through the forest, which is a prime habitat for moose and bears. Sightings are common but not guaranteed as we try to see these animals in their natural habitat.The scenic drive finally brings us to beautiful Maligne Lake, the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Enjoy some time to walk around and take pictures of the scenery.We return to the town and to the Jasper Planetarium. Offering an unforgettable stargazing experience under some of the darkest skies in Canada. Nestled within the Jasper National Park, a designated Dark Sky Preserve, the planetarium offers immersive indoor presentations. Marvel at distant galaxies, constellations, and planets through powerful telescopes while knowledgeable guides share the stories, science, and legends behind the night sky. Even in early spring, when the evenings are crisp and clear, the experience of seeing the Milky Way stretch overhead, unspoiled by city lights, is a perfect blend of education and the serene wilderness that surrounds Jasper.Dinner will be enjoyed as a group in the Town of Jasper this evening.

Overnight: Jasper

After dreaming about travel to an exciting destination, arranging for time off work, booking your flights the last thing you need is for your trip to be cancelled. Anderson vacation's pre-Guaranteed tours take the uncertainty away from planning your travel and give you peace of mind to book our tours. Pre-Guaranteed Tours are group tours that we have already confirmed as certain to travel on the specified date. All 'Guaranteed Tours' will travel except in the event of a natural disaster or a catastrophic event that is beyond our control. They may already have the minimum number of people booked or else are tours that are known to be popular. Only select departures of tours are 'pre-Guaranteed'.

We pride ourselves on providing “a small shared group experience.” In the event that we have fewer than ten participants on a tour we will offer a “small-group surcharge” to ensure that the tour runs as scheduled. This fee, which is up to 15% of the “land” portion of the tour, will be offered to you as an option to continue with the trip. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling a smaller group.

Our tours are suitable for all age demographics. The average age of travelers is typically 45+.

Some tours are mainly coach based and may not be physically demanding while others may require walking inclines or on rough surfaces to access interesting locations.
