A Day of Fun - Your Way - at Jasper Park Lodge Location Information Description

Jasper, Canada

Start off the morning by joining a national park official for an interactive (and active) family strategy game on the grounds of the lodge that’s fun for everyone. Then spend the rest of the day just as you please in the wilderness wonderland of Jasper National Park, at your inside-the-park resort set in the magnificent Rocky Mountains.

Best of all, you'll receive a free Summer Resort Activities Card* to use for fun things like a free hour of bicycle rental, a boat for an hour, one hour of tennis court and racket rental, or a bucket of balls and club rental at the golf driving range; your card is good for the entire time you're staying at Jasper.

Maybe you and your family will go off in search of the wildlife that calls the area home or play in the swimming pool... or perhaps engage in other optional activities (available at an additional charge) like golf or horseback riding. It's up to you! Join us tonight for a private lakeside barbecue at your lodge!

FAIRMONT JASPER PARK LODGE

Maligne Canyon & Athabasca River Rafting Location Information Description

Jasper, Canada

This most inspiring of family Canadian Rockies tours continues with an exciting expedition to Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park, created more than 150 million years ago! One of the most spectacular gorges in the Canadian Rockies, the views way down deep between its steep, smooth canyon walls are memorable.

Each bridge you cross brings something new - from lush plant life and ancient fossils to mysterious potholes and cascading waterfalls. Then, board a rubber boat for a wet and wild rafting trip* down the mighty, glacier-fed Athabasca River, encountering both calm waters and "whitewater" along the way as you float through some amazing scenery.

Ride Across a Glacier & on to Banff Location Information Description

Get set for something really cool as you board a specially designed Ice Explorer for an unforgettable ride atop the Athabasca Glacier in the middle of the Columbia Icefields, among the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle... some of the glacier's ice began as snow more than 400 years ago! Before you set off, look up – the people and Ice Explorers you see in the distance look like ants and toy vehicles. Later... when you're on one... you get the picture of how incredible it is to be on the glacier!

Then keep a lookout for moose, bighorn sheep, elk, eagles, hawks and other wildlife as you drive along the Icefields Parkway again this afternoon, through the kind of spectacular scenery you'd expect to see on the ultimate of Canadian Rockies tours.
