It’s always nice to see wildlife on a hike. If you come from the city like me, you will be amazed at the wildlife in Jasper, especially moose sightings. They can be viewed during the day but they really come out once the sun goes down. I stayed at the Fairmont Jasper in Banff National Park and sure enough they came walking down the road, snacking on grass right in front of my room! I couldn’t believe it. (Fairmont didn’t pay me to write this – I paid full freight)
There is a fantastic lake at the hotel and it’s a nice walk around. The lake is also a water source for the area so there’s no swimming allowed, but you can kayak and canoe, which is also nice. There are great walks all around this area. It’s spectacular.
You will also see a fair amount of deer and mountain goats – all you have to do is look.
