Here’s what to know when you visit Jasper this season:

97% of Jasper National Park Unimpacted
It may be surprising to hear that 97% of Jasper National Park is the same as before. As the largest park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper offers vast, seemingly endless space to explore. From iconic trails to breathtaking viewpoints, adventure is all around you.
While the 2024 forest fire did affect parts of the area, much of the park remains untouched, and in the places that were impacted, signs of renewal and resilience are already beginning to emerge.
1,000km of Trails
Approximately 1,000km of trails in Jasper National Park are open this summer. There is endless opportunity, rediscover some of your favourites through their new landscapes or venture beyond to explore a new area.
