Anybody able to offer any strategies to get from Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge to the hot springs in August? Since we're visiting from Toronto where you can get anywhere via Lyft and Uber.

Hi all

I have booked a Maligne lake cruise on May 24

Would Maligne Lake have thawed by then?

Hello all! I'm going to Jasper by train next week for about a week and I'm trying to make plans on things to do around. Any tips for anyone travelling without a car? I mean, for going to the must-see spots and hikes.

Would you recommend one accommodation over the other? Are they both pretty solid?

Thanks!

I have 2 properties booked for middle of July and need to let go of one today. Fairmont Lodge Jasper Mountain View B&B Hinton

Which one should I keep.

additional info: I have another booking for banff which we will go to after seeing the Jasper area.

Hi everyone, I’m planning an itinerary for Banff and Jasper skywalk.
I will be staying in Canmore and require a reasonably priced mode of transportation for round trip to Jasper skywalk from Canmore.

Are there any buses or carpools available that I could book ?

Hello Alberta friends,

I'm a PhD student from Waterloo. I'm going to be presenting some research at uAlberta at the end of June

I'm arriving a little early because I want to spend a day checking out Jasper. I've booked a rental car and a campsite at Pocahontas https://www.campingjasper.com/Pocahontas-Campground.html

I'm being cheap with the flights so I will have my carryon and probably nothing else...

If any folks are in the mood for a random wilderness adventures I'm happy to have company along. If said company also happens to have camping gear to spare it'd save me from having to do some rather creative packing and problem solving.

Hey everyone I’m travelling to Jasper with a friend this week and I haven’t been in 10 years. Any suggestions what to see and where to go. Any hikes? I know bear season is very active right now and I have bear spray on me. But any suggestions that are more safer haha! 😂

Interested in doing a family friend river raft with kids (ages 7,10). Saw the whitwaterraftingjasper site, which looked good, but the Athabasca 5 only offers 1 h river time. Or is it better to book something in Banff? Is it worth it? Looking for something to break up the hikes, which is the focus of the trip. Advice welcome. thanks!

Anyone been to marmot in the last couple of days? Is it still in good shape?

Hi

Looking for any advice/insights of anyone that’s worked in jpl, just accepted a summer job there. What’s the housing, social life, time off (lol if any), most importantly the food in ‘the bean’🤠

TIA

Please recommend places to stay the monday night with my partner Better view and prices are preffered

Looking for a very special engagement ring my partners favorite place is the pyramid lake mountains I want a ring that's made either with part of the mountain or maybe the range carved into it? Any local jewellers that could maybe help with this strange request? Tia

my aunt has a wedding this month and we don't want to stay at a cabin and the parks website says closed but is the gate actually closed until May 8th? is there any site open before may or are we SOL on sites in april

Any good ideas for a year anniversary here in jasper this weekend!

Looking for any recommendations for good hiking trails open now! I’m visiting so I don’t have spikes or snowshoes, but looking for a day hike or two to do in the next couple days! Open to either easy calm hikes or longer hikes, or even to any suggestions on things to do in Jasper in April. Thanks in advance! :)

Hello!

My boyfriend and I are planning a road trip and we are looking for low-traffic, low-key things to do in the Northern-western Japser area. The exact location is totally flexible, but we would really prefer to find a hike with few to no other people and prioritize low crowds over location. We both hate crowds but will be going through the park on our way to our final destination.

We would like to find a challenging hike with dramatic, rewarding views. I am 22 F and he is 19 M, both in excellent shape but I am terrified of climbing so please no serious scrambles! We are happy to wade through rivers, get dirty, and are not afraid of a trail that isn’t well maintained.

We will be in a 4-wheel offroad capable truck.

I would also love any recommendations of low-key things to do, eat at, etc near by that wouldnt be wildly crowded.

This trip will be in early May!

My partner and I have a backpacking trip booked for the Saturday night of May long weekend. What’s the likelihood of finding car camping availability for the Friday and Sunday night? Any recommendations?

Is it crazy to even try fishing anywhere tomorrow near Jasper? Honest question. Thanks for any help. We will just be cruising around and hiking all day wherever. Thank you 🐟🐟🐟

With summer coming up and what I'm expecting to be a warm spring I'm hoping the lakes in the area will be nice and swimmable by June.

I've been here for a few years and I know that pyramid after dark is fine. But I'd like to find somewhere I could get some sun as well.

Short hikes are okay , like 30-45 minutes

Thank you anyone who would know I'll buy you a beer!! Asking for Wifey she's one of those fitness freaks...

Asking about road conditions and the law about having snow/ice tires

Is the condition good for travel towards banff from jasper?

And has it past the date required for snow/ice tires?

Saskatoon resident here.

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone in here is working as a liftie in Marmot Basin? I’m considering applying there next winter and I’m curious about the experience. I’ve worked as a liftie for one season in Norway, and want to experience working in a different country. Are there accommodation for people working there, or do you have to rent for your self?

I'm extending a work trip to add 3 days (April 20th-23rd) to the end of my trip to allow me to drive up to see yoho and jasper. These 3 days include 12 hours of driving to get there and back.

I have been to banff before and absolutely adored it. I want to make the best of this trip as it may be my only chance to see these parks for years to come but I know it's not the ideal time to be going.

Aside from skiing what are the #1 recommendations? Hiking and photography views are my priorities

There appears to be a few hostels in jasper would anyone recommend them over car camping?
