Trail reviews for Jasper National Park
Lots of bighorn on the trail! My girlfriend really liked studying the old burn. The sunset over Jasper and the Athabasca was gorgeous.
Great views of Jasper and all of the mountains and lakes in the area. But bring bug spray—the mosquitoes were pretty intense at parts.
“What Jasper looked like before the fires”.”
Nice little hike near Jasper. Definitely worth it. Views throughout the trail were astonishing. Go for it, you’ll enjoy it.
Moderate Route. Even without good condition doable. Trails are well maintained. You can take a lot of breaks on the way up. Views are stunning...best hike i ever did. Must do if in Jasper.
Waterfall is right at the car park with a short walk around to see it from different views. Hardly a walk but a must see if you’re in Jasper.
