Edmonton & Jasper National Park
There are two sides to every adventure
Discover the journey less travelled when you embark on an adventure in Canada’s North. It all begins in Edmonton – the capital of Alberta, gateway to the Rockies, and a Top City within Lonely Planet’s Best In Travel 2025 list. Start your adventure sipping on award-winning beers, taking in one if the city's many festivals, and participating in rich, cultural experiences that connect you to others and the land. With over 160 kms of river valley trails, it’s easy to get away from it all in the heart of the city.
After tasting every delicious cocktail in downtown Edmonton, venture to relaxation at Jasper National Park, located 3.5 hours away by a scenic drive. Marvel at towering mountains, crystal clear lakes, and thundering waterfalls. The town of Jasper is welcoming visitors back to nature after the 2024 wildfires. While you catch your breath looking at the captivating beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and this quaint mountain town, you will also be making a positive impact on the community during their journey to recovery. Take a night photography tour, race down white water rapids, hike natural paths beneath pine-scented trees, and enjoy the rush of awe as you stare up at the towering, impressive terrain that surrounds all around you.
