Good to know
- Moraine Lake: the road is closed to personal vehicles. Visits run in season (roughly June to mid-October; 2026 Parks Canada shuttle season was June 1 – Oct 12) by Parks Canada shuttle or a licensed commercial operator. Outside the season we substitute another stop.
- 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 (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.
- Hell's Gate Airtram is closed for the rest of 2026 (scheduled to reopen May 2027); the Fraser Canyon drive and roadside viewpoints remain.
- Mountain passes (Rogers Pass, Coquihalla, Fraser Canyon) can have winter conditions from October to April.
