Plenty of trails for all levels

Hiking in Jasper National Park is one of the best outdoor activities you can do here. Use the search function at the top right corner to find specific hiking trails. Most of the images are taken by me and if they are not, the contributors are mentioned.

We recommend registering with Parks Canada. “A lot of people are afraid to register, but even a twisted ankle can have you out overnight.” Checking with the Parks Canada trail information office at the visitor information centre for up to date trail conditions and maps is also a good idea. Hikers can choose from day hikes (some take only a hour or so) or overnight trips.

“Good footwear is most important and you have to dress for the conditions” says Jasper Nature Experience guide Cleone Todgham.

“Layered clothing is a good idea because it can be a lot cooler at higher elevations.” You should also make sure your day pack contains sunglasses, sun screen, a hat, a first aid kit and water before you set out.
