Things to do in Jasper

Things to do in  Jasper

Welcome to Jasper

The alpine town of Jasper is surprisingly placid, given the immensity and drama of the surrounding landscapes. A key hub for those exploring UNESCO-listed Jasper National Park—the largest park in the Canadian Rockies—Jasper sits on the precipice of some of Canada’s wildest terrain. Things to do in Jasper for outdoorsy adventurers include cruising the turquoise water of Maligne Lake; backcountry hiking among snowy peaks; exploring the Columbia Icefield; seeing the Milky Way in all its splendor in this Dark Sky Preserve; and spotting wildlife ranging from bighorn sheep to moose and grizzly bears.

Top 10 attractions in Jasper

#1
Maligne Canyon

Maligne Canyon

star-5490
Carved out of the limestone bedrock by a rushing river, this narrow and steep canyon—which reaches depths of up to 160 feet (50 meters)—is one of the most striking geological features of Jasper National Park. In summer, hikers flock here to follow trails that span the gorge, while in winter, the canyon freezes into an icy wonderland.More
#2
Medicine Lake

Medicine Lake

star-4.5417
An alpine lake surrounded by the rugged mountains of Jasper National Park, Medicine Lake is not only a wildlife watching and recreation destination, it is also a geological anomaly. In summer, the pristine lake is brimming with glacial water. Come fall, sinkholes at the bottom of the lake drain the water, leaving nothing but mudflats.More
#3
Maligne Lake

Maligne Lake

star-4.5319
With its vivid aquamarine waters and impressive backdrop of jagged, glacier-studded peaks, Maligne Lake has visitors to the Canadian Rockies reaching for their cameras. The glacier-fed lake is the largest in Jasper National Park. Tiny tree-topped Spirit Island stands in the middle of the lake and is the subject of countless postcards.More
#4
Columbia Icefield Skywalk

Columbia Icefield Skywalk

star-4.5388
Jutting out from the side of a Jasper National Park cliff, the elevated, glass-bottomed Columbia Icefield Skywalk, also known as Glacier Skywalk, is an exhilarating—if somewhat unnerving—way to experience the epic, untouched landscapes of the Canadian Rockies. From this vantage point, the view of the park’s ice-hatted peaks and glacial valleys is nothing short of spectacular.More
#5
Athabasca River

Athabasca River

star-5591
This magnificent river flows 765 miles (1,231 kilometers from Jasper National Park’s Columbia Glacier to Lake Athabasca. Along the way, it passes boreal forest, rocky summits, and national parks. Fishing, white-water rafting, and riverside trails make the river a top destination for outdoor recreation in Alberta.More
#6
Jasper SkyTram

Jasper SkyTram

star-4.5261
Travel up Whistlers Mountain on the Jasper SkyTram, Canada’s longest and highest aerial tramway, to see Jasper National Park from a brand-new perspective. The enclosed gondola takes you from 4,279 feet (1,304 meters) to 7,472 feet (2,277 meters) above sea level. From the top, enjoy stunning views of Jasper, the Rockies, and the Athabasca River.More
#7
Spirit Island

Spirit Island

star-5206
Situated in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Spirit Island is—for most of the year, at least—not actually an island at all, but rather a pint-sized peninsula connected to the mainland by a thin strip of land. A long-standing symbol of the Canadian Rockies, the tree-topped islet has featured on countless postcards and images of the park.More
#8
Sunwapta Falls

Sunwapta Falls

star-5143
Originating from the Athabasca Glacier, this pair of waterfalls are among the most picturesque in Jasper National Park, with easy access for those driving along the Icefields Parkway. The falls’ icy glacial water sprays a fine white mist up in the air as it drops, while pine forests and mountain peaks serve as the backdrop. More
#9
Mount Robson Provincial Park and Protected Area

Mount Robson Provincial Park and Protected Area

star-5113
Home to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Robson Provincial Park and Protected Area draws in mountaineers, photographers, and sightseers. The 12,972-foot (3,954-meter) Mount Robson stands out both because of its size and dramatic geological rings that spiral up the mountain. Visitors frequently spot moose, elk, bear, and caribou.More
#10
Miette Hot Springs

Miette Hot Springs

star-556
Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park are a gorgeous spot to soak your bones after a hike in the Rocky Mountains. Known as the hottest springs in the Canadian Rockies, the mineral-rich water gushes out of the mountainside at a steamy 129°F (54°C) before being cooled to 104°F (40°C) for a comfortable dip in the pool.More
