Good to know
- Jasper (2024 wildfire recovery): Maligne Canyon and Cavell Road are closed for the 2026 season and the Maligne Lake cruise to Spirit Island is not operating in 2026 (scheduled to return May 2027). Maligne Lake shoreline, Medicine Lake, Pyramid Lake and Athabasca Falls are open. We confirm the latest Parks Canada status before every trip.
- Icefields Parkway: open all year, but expect winter driving conditions from October to May. Columbia Icefield glacier experiences run roughly May to mid-October (optional, not included).
- Jasper SkyTram (optional) is seasonal, roughly mid-April to late October.
