The experience

Three hours on foot through Jasper's backcountry, following routes where wildlife sightings are common. Your guide leads at a pace that lets you stop and look: at snow-capped peaks in May and early June, wildflower meadows ablaze in mid-summer, or the red and gold of Larch and Aspen trees from late August through September. The commentary covers the flora and fauna you encounter, and the guide watches for movement in the forest: Columbia ground squirrels, beavers, eagles, moose and bear all inhabit the region.

Hotel pickup means you don't arrange transport, and the small-group format keeps the walk intimate enough that your guide can adjust the pace and point out details as they appear. Bring a camera: the peaks, meadows and streams offer frequent stops for photographs. The walk operates in all weather, so dress for conditions. A moderate level of fitness is needed to complete the route comfortably.
