  ROCKY MOUNTAIN CANYONING
  Imagine yourself a feather floating along a stream that descends into a deep cleft in the mountain, following the watercourse
  as it carves out the rock through centuries of dedicated action. Now envision yourself attached to a rope moving along that
  waterfall in a controlled descent taking in the stunning beauty that the water has carved from the rock. Canyoning is the art
  of descending steep walled gorges and deep mountain valleys using ropes to control your movements. Canyoning includes
  jumping, walking, scrambling, sliding, wading and other means to travel through this unique and spectacular part of our world.

  LAKES FOR SWIMMING                                                                    Take a picnic with you! Click here for details.

  LAKE ANNETTE
  Stroll the 2.4 km paved path encircling this local hotspot (watch for interpretive signs that name nearby mountains) before
  laying out a blanket on the beach and heading for a dip. There are also picnic tables, fire boxes, a playground, cooking shelter,
  changing rooms and an overall chill, family-friendly vibe.
  Location: Just after leaving JPL, take a right towards Lake Annette.

  LAKE EDITH
  A bit less populated than Lake Annette, but no less beautiful. Edith’s 4.9 km path around is more ensconced in the trees, and
  the beach doesn’t have quite as many amenities.
  Location: Just north of Lake Annette, along the same road.

  PYRAMID LAKE
  Four beaches and lots of picnic areas with fire pits. This is a popular spot for fishing (pick up a fishing license and supplies at
  Online Sport and Tackle on Patricia Street on your way). Be sure to check out the iconic bridge connecting to Pyramid Island too!
  Location: At the end of Pyramid Lake Road, approximately a 7 minute drive from town.

  PATRICIA LAKE
  This companion area to Pyramid Lake offers picnic areas with fire pits and access to the lakeshore. A little less sandy here, but a
  little quieter too. Fishing is also popular on Patricia Lake.
  Location: On left hand side of Pyramid Lake Road, just before Pyramid Lake.

  JASPER LAKE
  If wading in the water is more your style, you might enjoy taking in the stunning views at Jasper Lake. Technically, this shallow
  body of water beside the highway is part of the Athabasca River, but the channel is so wide in this part that it’s essentially a
  lake. With a parking lot, new outhouse bathroom and a stretch of beach, it makes a scenic pit stop on the way to or from JPL.
  Location: Beside Highway 16, about 20 minutes from Jasper.

  road a short distance to trail 7c (on the right hand side), connecting to trail 7. Turn left onto trail 7 and follow it to the base of Old
  Fort Point where the ascent begins at a set of stairs. Come back down the same way, or go down the backside of the mountain
  to complete a loop. There is also a parking lot at the base of Old Fort Point that can be accessed from Highway 16.

  MALIGNE CANYON
  Time Required: 2 - 2.5 Hours | Difficulty: Moderate | Elevation Gain: 110 m | Approximate Distance Round Trip: 7 km

  hike can be started from the parking lot at the top of the canyon, or from the Fifth or Six Bridge parking lots at the bottom.
  Directions: At the end of Old Lodge Road, turn right onto Maligne Road. Look for signage on the left hand side as you drive.

  VALLEY OF THE FIVE LAKES
  Time Required: 1.5 - 2 Hours | Difficulty: Easy - Moderate | Elevation Gain: 66 m | Approximate Distance Round Trip: 4.5 km
  This hike takes you around five, sparkling blue-green lakes. Much of the trail is flat, but there are a few short steep sections.
  Directions: The trailhead is about a 20 minute drive from the Lodge. Take the Icefields Parkway about 9km south and you will
  see a big sign indicating the parking area on the left hand side.

  WHISTLERS MOUNTAIN
  Time Required: 3 - 3.5 Hours | Difficulty: Hard | Elevation Gain: 1200 m | Approximate Distance One Way: 8 km
  This is a great physical test with fantastic views. You can hike both ways, but we recommend taking the SkyTram down!
  Directions: Take Highway 93 south about 2 km. Turn right at the signs for the Jasper SkyTram onto Whistlers Road and follow it
  for 2.7 km. Turn left just after the Whistlers Hostel sign, but before the hostel. Follow the road 0.3 km to the trailhead.

  The 14 km road to the parking lot is narrow and has tight switchbacks that are unsuitable for trailers and large motorhomes.

  ATHABASCA FALLS
  The 23-metre Athabasca Falls is not very high by Canadian Rockies standards, but the size of the river makes it one of the most
  powerful falls to be found in the mountain national parks. .

  made even more spectacular by a small island that divides the river just before the falls.
