Skyline Trail, Jasper - (Part 1) - 4 days/3 nights, 44 km. Family backpack
The Skyline Trail is a hiking trail in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The trail is recognized as one of the most scenic and popular backpacking trails in the Canadian Rockies. With 25 km of the total 44.1 km of the trail at or above the treeline, it offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It is normally hiked over two days from Maligne Lake to the bottom of Signal Mountain, but we chose to hike it at a more moderate pace over 4 days. It is recommended to hike the trail south to north from Maligne Lake, as the fire road descending to Signal Mountain on the north end is an 800m elevation loss. There are three challenging passes to conquer, including the highest section of trail in Jasper National Park, called the Notch.
Filmed Aug 10-13, 2017.
There are campgrounds at 5 km, 8 km, 12 km, 19 km, 30 km, and 35 km, offering options for hikers of any persuasion (Evelyn Creek, Little Shovel, Snowbowl, Curator, Tekarra, and Signal respectively).
Camping is only permitted at the designated campgrounds, which must be reserved in advance. Visitors are recommended to book sites as early as possible, as the Skyline Trail is one of the busiest backpacking trails in the Rockies.
This is my 6th time on the Skyline, 2nd for my wife and the first time for the boys. I’m lucky because I got to enjoy it back in the days when it wasn’t so popular. Back then I could bring my dog and make fires at the campsites that were below the tree line. (Dogs are now banned because of a few caribou). I’ve seen the transformation over the year. Now the trail has been built up with mechanical hoes, culverts have been installed and the bridges are made of pressure treated lumber. The campsites have steel food caches, chemical toilets, picnic tables and built-up tent pads.
It’s still a gorgeous area worth seeing. The latest problem is that the park takes on-line electronic reservations for the trail. They don’t even save room for last minute walk-ups. Since only about 30 people can start on the trail every day, and because there is snow well into July, the hiking season is very short. All the camp sites were reserved by noon on the opening day of the reservation system back in January.
Our trip itinerary wasn’t ideal because we had to hike only
8.3 km on the first day and stay at the Little Shovel campground. The next day we hiked to Curator.
This video is about the views along the way, especially at the Curator basin, and not so much about hiking skills. This is not my usual format, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
Part 2, featuring the “Notch”, will be even more spectacular.

2 day Backpacking Trip of the Skyline Trail, in Jasper National Park, August 2019
I set off with a group of three friends, for a quick 2 day hike of the famous Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park, Alberta Canada. Sadly, no dogs or hammocks allowed on this trail, so I was without my girl Wanda, and sleeping on the ground like a peasant. This hike took place August 2019
Our original plan, was starting at Maligne Lake, over Little shovel pass and Big shovel pass, with a night at Watchtower, with the Notch and signal fire road on day 2. Unfortunately, heavy winds, rain, and zero visibility at the Notch changed our trip to an in and out from Maligne Lake to Watchtower. But, the sun came out and greeted us in the afternoon and presented us with some amazing views!

Discovering Canada | What to see and do in Jasper
David whitehill gets lost in Jasper and is having the time of his life as he rides on a Harley-Davidson, sees Canada from the top of Whistler's Mountain and goes rafting in the Athabasca river.
For more information visit:
See below for a transcript from the video:
We’ve traveled to Canada with Scenic to catch up with Ted, the Harley-Davidson riding bad-boy who has this amazing scenery as his backyard. If you want to check the national park out this has got to be the best way to do it.
What’s the magic for you that keeps you coming out here every day?
Ted: “Making people happy and letting them see a part of the country that they may never see again.”
David: “I like that this fresh air is keeping you nice and young, Ted.”
The Harley tour has to be the most unique way to explore Jasper.
There’s 1500cc of Harley engine guiding you through one of the most
picturesque parts of Canada. This is quite an experience.
Not a bad way to travel.
Jasper National Park is huge. It spans over 10,000 square kilometres and with its World Heritage listing it's one of the most visited destinations in the country.
If you're an outdoors kind of person you are going to fall in love with Jasper National Park.
Everything here is designed around getting you outdoors so you can really embrace the beauty of the Canadian
Rockies and I mean you have some of the most pristine wilderness in the world right at your fingertips.
Scenic’s mission is to make sure you see the park from every angle and the sky-tram takes you up over two kilometres to the summit of Whistler’s Mountain.
With a very warm welcome from the locals, the views from up here stretch out over six different mountain ranges.
I’m starting to get the feeling that Canadians like to show off a little bit.
From the top of the mountains to the valleys below adventure just seems to be around every bend.
One of your Scenic Freechoice activities is that you get a chance to tackle the Athabasca River.
This is the kind of experience where all you need is a bright red life-jacket and a sense of adventure.
Our expert guide Logan shows us all the sights of one of the rockies major rivers as we tackle the odd bump and occasional team drenching.
To calm things down just a little the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge gives you a true taste of mountain life.
Nestled in the heart of the national park, it prides itself on giving you a five-star experience but with the raw feel of nature right on your doorstep.
This is one place you’re going to sleep very well.
Once you’ve taken on everything Scenic’s been able to throw at you it’s time to come down here to the heated pool, grab yourself a cocktail, and just start relaxing.
This is what holidays are all about.

Hiking Whistlers trail in Jasper National Park, Canada
A detailed description of Whistlers trail in Jasper National Park, Canada. During the hike I will show you the trail and describe the elevation gain and terrain as I hike to the summit. There is a quick tour of the jasper tram at the top of Whistlers before continuing on to the peak.
Whistlers hike is a good option to hike to a summit and experience incredible views. The trail is moderately traveled until the Jasper tram station. There are more hikers from the tram station to the peak.
If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will try and answer them for you.
Have a great hike and i will see you on the trails.
