You could spend a whole lifetime happily exploring Jasper (and toward this goal we are doing our darndest) but if your travel schedule is a smidge more restrictive rest assured there’s still plenty of Jasper classics to experience over three days.
For the person whose soul fills with happiness in the presence of mountains, this guide will be your new best friend.
Day 1
Morning
Ride the Jasper SkyTram up Whistlers Mountain for views of the townsite and surrounding mountains, and if there’s still snow hanging around the peak rent snowshoes at the Upper Station and trek the 1.2 kilometers to the tippity top of the mountain.
Afternoon
Don some leathers for a mini road trip on a Harley Davidson motorcycle and/or Harley Davidson sidecar with Jasper Motorcycle Tours. The adventure is so iconic that Destination Canada knighted it a “Signature Experience.”
Evening
Memories fade a lot faster than photographs, so immortalize that jaw-dropping sunset or night sky scene with a local photography guide to ensure you always remember the beauty you’ve seen.
Day 2
Morning
With spring comes meltwater, so celebrate the freshly rushing rivers with Jasper Raft Tours’ family-friendly float trips down the Athabasca River.
Afternoon
Get a classic western experience and take in the Rocky Mountain sights from the back of a gentle horse with Jasper Park Riding Stables.
Evening
Peruse fine Canadian art and sculptures at Mountain Galleries, which is located at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and open until 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Day 3
Morning
If a walk among blooming wildflowers doesn’t melt your heart, seeing a wobbly baby elk discover the world should do the trick. Ensure your best chances of a spotting by booking a wildlife tour with SunDog Tour Co.
Afternoon
Pamper your body with a relaxing massage, spa treatments or hair salon appointment at the Mountain Wellness Day Spa.
Evening
Finish the day with a slice of authentic Neapolitan pizza cooked in a bell oven from Italy at Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria.
