Summer has arrived in Jasper, and it is spectacular. July brings plenty of adventure opportunities; here's some examples to get those idea wheels turning.
A note: to skip the line to get into the national park, purchase your Parks Pass in advance and book your accommodation at jasperhotels.jasper.travel to support local.
1 Hit the lakes
With warmer temperatures it's the perfect time to grab a kayak or paddleboard and explore the beautiful Lac Beauvert or Pyramid Lake. Rentals are available at both locations, as well as a variety of other watercraft.
2 Food Tours
You know what's better than dining on a patio with mountain views? Dining on three patios with mountain views, with guided e-biking between each. Or better yet, hiking to a panoramic viewpoint for a backcountry cooking lesson. With Jasper Food Tours, you can do it all.
3 Multi-day hiking
Snow-free trails means further explorations! Head into the backcountry on a multi-day guided expedition with Canadian Skyline Adventures or High Sights Guiding. Looking for something a little shorter? Check out Jasper's many day hike opportunities, including those from Walks and Talks Jasper.
4 Parks Day
All across the country Canadians will be celebrating the importance of our parks and historic sites and, in Jasper, the Friends of Jasper National Park will be hosting the party! You won’t want to miss the guided hikes and outdoor activities, fundraising barbecue, interpretive displays, aboriginal drummers and dancers, children’s activities, family entertainment and more that will take place throughout the park. The big day will be on Saturday, July 20 but events will take place all weekend-long!
5 Raft the rivers
With so many rivers in Jasper National Park, whitewater rafting has become one of our most popular summer activities. From guided rafting tours to solo kayaking, Jasper's Class II and Class III whitewater offers adventures that show you the park from a whole new perspective. Choose a trip to get your heart racing here.
