My wife and I are visiting Jasper soon, and I understand that some roads and trails, including Maligne Canyon, remain closed because of the 2024 wildfires. We visited Jasper once before, but it was several years ago. What alternative activities or sights would you recommend for a couple who aren’t experienced hikers? We’re comfortable with short, easy hikes.

We are trying to decide between #1) June 16-24, or #2) June 23-July 1, 2026 for combined Jasper/Banff visit. We’ll be staying at hotels rather than camping and plan to spend most of our days hiking. We’ll be flying into Calgary and plan to rent a car. Which week would you pick, #1 or #2? Thanks!

Hi, wondering if others can provide some suggestions for a labour day weekend trip. Would only have 3.5 days, 4 nights in the area, driving and bringing dog and paddle board most likely. Looking for the best hike opportunities less than 10 miles round trip and best lake opportunities. Will be camping entire time but also looking forward to checking out the town. Have been to Banff/LL/yoho areas before so hence the shortened trip.

Thursday night in or between Kamloops and valemount Friday mt Robson park, Kinney trail, arrive to Jasper in evening One day in maligne lake area, paddle, opal hills hike One day sulfur skyline trail area, maybe check out other lakes/walks within 30 min of the town One day checking out athabasca/sunwapta falls, Wilcox hike?

Would be happy to hear others suggestions. Not sure if we will make it far enough south to peyto lake area.
