Hi Georgie, it’s a pity that you didn’t manage to secure a camp spot, but I definitely recommend to take out the canoe for the day! If you’re used to paddle, you could even make it to Spirit Island, but it would be a looooong day on the water (definitely count 8hours return). I’d recommend to take the canoe out, take your time to enjoy the different sights and have lunch at one of the picknick stops. Enjoy!

Thank you

What a bummer that you hadn’t any nice views! But I’m happy that you’re keen to go back. You won’t regret it as you can see in my article 🙂 It’s such a cool place. Try and stay a few days, so you can really soak in the scenery (and the clouds might go away 😉 ).

You would love Maligne Lake! Try to do a canoe trip, even if it is a little one – it will make you see the lake away from the mass of tourist. Jasper is btw a small cute town! Try to visit Pyramid Lake as well, if you’re in the area.

Thanks for your lovely comment Kate! I hope you’ll make it to the Rockies, so many photo opportunities and cool adventures! But if you don’t like the cold, then wait until next year May, because winter has just arrived here (-24°C!!).

Thanks so much for your nice comment Nigel! And good to know that canoeing takes some practice 🙂 I’m sure I’ll try it again, in beautiful scenery like this. Regarding packing, we took enough dry bags and a mix of clothes. It’s important to take a mix of layers (’cause the weather changes quickly), and definitely enough warm clothes and extra food in case you get stuck!
