surprise corner follows on from the bow river falls and gives a fantastic view of the hotel opposite the view point you can then continue to the bow river trail.

Jasper SkyTram is the longest and highest guided aerial tramway in Canada. This family trip offers incredible views of six different mountain ranges, turquoise-coloured lakes, glacier-fed rivers and the town of Jasper. Gain a new perspective on Jasper National Park, the largest park in the UNESCO Canadian Rockies World Heritage Site. Watch for wildlife below as you gently climb towards the upper station located at 7,425 feet (2,263 meters). A knowledgeable guide will accompany you on your 7.5 minute flight, sharing a few insights about the area, its history and the diversity of nature surrounding you. Stroll along the interpretive boardwalk or try hiking the 1.4 km trail to the summit of Whistlers Mountain at 8,081 feet (2,463 meters). Make sure to stop at the Summit Restaurant for a meal at the top of the Canadian Rockies and visit the gift shops at the upper or lower stations for a souvenir to take home. From March to early May, rent snowshoes at the top for a unique experience.

This was my favorite of the 2 gondola/sky trams we took up to the mountains. Banff gondola, Lake Louise gondola & Jasper Sky Tram. the scenery was fantastic at the top, you could see the entire valley, the town of Jasper and Whistler etc. Once there you could hike up to the top of the mountain or just sit on rocks taking in the scenery.

This is a moderate hike that is best enjoyed when the weather is cooler to avoid the mosquitoes. I did this hike in July and it was great, but would have been more enjoyable if it were done in June or September. The views are stunning. I was disappointed in the litter, especially cigarette butts that I saw along the path. Travelers should be more respectful of our National Parks!

Very good views, and really neat place to go. A Funicular (Free!!) is available to ride down to the Lookout (the Funicular hours are 0700 - 2100). Also, there is an elevator in the Lookout to take you down to Walking and Bicycle paths.

This lookout has been around for a number of years but the City has built a new viewing stand (which is much safer than the original one). Great views of the river valley which is a true gem for which Edmonton should be very proud of. It is the largest expanse of urban parkland in North America and 22 times larger than Central Park in New York.
