Travelling in Jasper in a Car Hire

As you navigate the serpentine mountain roads of Jasper National Park be sure to travel south on the Icefield Highway to the breathtaking Athabasa Falls. As it is only 3 kilometres from the centre of town, the sort trip proves to be well worth your while. Watch as the powerful Athabasa River falls over 23 metres down layered limestone. The many viewing platforms connected by walking trails allow you watch the rushing water drop down the gorge from a safe distance. The falls are the last major obstruction on the river before it reaches Jasper which makes it a great location to launch a kayak or raft for a whitewater adventure.

The Jasper Tramway is an unprecedented journey into the high alpine of Canada. As the highest tram in the country, your adventure will begin with a 2,277 meter (7,472 ft.) accent up Whistlers Peak. Stand awe-struck as you gaze over the jagged landscape, featuring miles of lush forest bejeweled with the blue-glow of glacial fed lakes. After a 10 minute ride to the Upper Terminal, you will be met by a tour guide who will lead you to different points of interest as he or she tells the history of the area and answers questions as needed. The Upper Terminal is not exactly at the summit of the mountain though there are many hiking trails that lead to the top. Just remember that any journeys to the peak are at your own risk, so dress properly, be prepared and enjoy!

The Maligne River Canyon is a must-see when visiting Jasper National Park in your car hire. The towering limestone cliffs stand high above the churning waters of the Malign River almost 50 feet below. Explore the many winding foot trails as you enjoy the peaceful babbling of streams and cascades. Since the Maligne Canyon has become such an attraction over the years, a restaurant has been built offering variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options.  Also, you can not leave before you seize the opportunity to discover what has been referred to as one of the finest galleries featuring traditional Inuit art within the country.  Book your car hire in Jasper and immerse yourself in the everlasting culture of Canada.
