Great Hikes in Alberta

Overlooking Glacier, Jasper National Park

This has to be the number one favorite activity in the Rockies. We have hiking trails of great beauty for all ages and abilities. Memories that visitors take home with them are often associated with the easy walks or treks that carry them to some of the Rockies stunning scenery. Canyons, waterfalls, rivers and our amazing aqua-colored lakes are all easily accessible by the best transportation of all, the foot. Breathe in some fresh moutain air and work up an appetite for that great Rocky Mountain cuisine you'll have back in Jasper or Banff! For the elderly there are many great sights within a few hundred feet of the Icefields Parkway!
