Mount Edith Cavell

Probably one of the most astonishing areas to trek or trail in Jasper is the Mount Edith Cavell. Offering a bundle of scenic routes, stunning picturesque scenes, and breath taking views of the valley and mountain, this place surely tops every travelers list. The mountain trek offers a never seen before view of the Canadian Rockies. You can trek, walk, or simply hire a car service to take you through the winding path.

Athabasca Falls

The massive, roaring Athabasca Falls are 30 kilometers (18 miles) south of Jasper on the Athabasca River. Self-guided trails and interpretive exhibits surround the falls. A lookout spot and bridge provide vantage points for photos and contemplation. The falls, surrounded by odd rock formations thousands of years in the making, are also a take-off point for white water rafting excursions. Pack a lunch and grab one of the picnic tables in the warming sun while enjoying the views of this natural wonder.

Miette Hotsprings

If the chill of the mountains gets to you, thaw your bones at the Miette Hotsprings. These steaming natural hot springs are located about an hour east of Jasper along the Yellowhead Highway and Miette Hotsprings Road. Apparently the warmest springs within the Canadian Rockies, there are two pools at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and a third that is a cooler plunge pool at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). Group rates and pool rentals are available. The springs are closed from October to May. Call ahead for varying dates.

Jasper House

A historic trading post in Jasper is the Jasper House, which remains, to this day, one of the most significant tourist attractions in the city. The place was a major part of trading routes in the area and stored so many of the items during the time. It was operational until 1894 when Lewis Swift, a miner in the area was using it. It was given the designation of a historical site in 1924.

Maligne Lake Boat House

Whether you're looking for a leisurely paddle or access to back country shoreline camps, the historic Curly Philips Boathouse supplies visitors with everything they need to explore the waters and shorelines of beautiful Maligne Lake. For paddlers, the boathouse offers kayaks, canoes and aluminum rowboats. Fishermen should check out their package of freight canoes with electric trolling motors and batteries. Rods and reels are also available. The boathouse itself is worth a visit, after all, the charming red-roofed building is a registered historical site.

Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure

If it is a unique journey on the Athabasca Glacier that you desire, then the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure is for you. This educational initiative is led by a driver who also functions as a guide, who for 80 minutes will broaden your knowledge of such things as icefields and glaciers. These tours, that depart every 15-30 minutes from the Icefield Centre, also offer tourists the opportunity of actually stepping out onto the glacier and experiencing it first-hand.
