Spot Wildlife
Jasper is famous for the wildlife that live there. Keep your eyes peeled for iconic Canadian animals like moose, elk, bears and more. Although there’s always the possibility of spotting Jasper's furry friends on your own, a professional wildlife watching tour will increase your chances and ensure you stay safe.
Soar to a Summit

Hit the Water
Paddle your way across a turquoise, glacier-fed lake with unobstructed views of the mountains. Not only is canoeing a classic Canadian activity, it's also incredibly peaceful. Prefer watersports at a different speed? Try whitewater rafting down one of Jasper heritage rivers, or taking a boat cruise to famous Spirit Island.
Cozy Cabins
Quintessentially Canadian and oh-so-cozy, there’s nothing like cuddling up fireside in a log cabin after a long day exploring the mountains. Experience Jasper’s cabin culture and experience heritage aesthetic with modern comforts. These charming havens are unique and perfect for longer stays.
