Happy Valentines Day from the hills! We were out yesterday cross country strolling along the sunny side of the Kinbasket Reservoir (a pretty place summer or winter). In the summertime we offer guided day hikes above the reservoir to reach Lilly Meadows, check out the link below. #Hiking #CrossCountrySkiing #ValentinesDay image
Our lead guide Ben is back from a great couple weeks working up at Bearpaw Heli-Skiing (in the North Rockies). Deep snow, cool temps, and snazzy filming locations make for excellent skiing for guests and guides alike! A highly recommended lodge if you were considering booking a heliskiing adventure. #Skiing #DroneVideo #MyJasper
Something new has been growing behind Jasper the Bear over the past month! Our friends at Rockaboo Mountain Adventures have built an in-town ice climbing wall! If you have never tried ice climbing this is a great way to be introduced to the sport. Take a look for more information here https://rockaboo.ca/jasper-ice-wall/ #MyJasper #IceClimbing
This September we will be running a second trip along Jasper's Legendary North Boundary Trail. This 13 day trek breaks up some of the longer distance days, leading to more time to enjoy the serene campsites and amazing trailside views. New for Summer 2025: We now also offer reward discounts for returning guests, and optional satellite internet connectivity at campgrounds/huts. As always we proudly accept #bitcoin and #lightning as payment for all of our guided adventures. See the link below or contact us for more details. Happy Trails! #MyJasper #Backpacking image

If you are willing to wait a bit after the strike however, we proudly accept #bitcoin and #lightning as payment for all our books, photography work, as well as guided backcountry adventures. #MyJasper #Hiking #CanadianRockies image

Brilliant Fall colors along the shore of the Kinbasket Reservoir last week. With a frosty forecast for this weekend it is likely things will soon look a lot more snowy! #Valemount #CanadianRockies #Photography
Happy Thanksgiving from the Rockies! ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฆƒ We had lovely fall weather yesterday up on the Pyramid Bench and much be to thankful for while enjoying parts of the park that remain verdant and beautiful. Not long till ski and snowshoe season! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies image
There were beautiful aurora all across Canada last night. We were out in the Robson Valley taking in the show and it was quite spectacular! While the winters can be long and dark out in the hills, more sightings of aurora are certainly something to look forward to! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Aurora #Valemount #Photography
Chilly temperatures have blown into the Rockies! Snowy peaks and frosty mornings are likely here to stay until Spring. Keep an eye on road conditions, particularly if planning to drive on the Icefields Parkway south of Jasper. Not long till ski season, we'll be dusting off our touring boots and mulling over snazzy new skis for the quiver! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography image
A bit ahead of the grizzly bears, and after a challenging but successful season our backpacking service is now hibernating for the winter.๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿป Many thanks to our guests for their flexibility with rescheduling and redirecting adventures away from Jasper during this difficult period. Look for updates on our Summer 2025 guided backpacking offerings in Jasper, and Mount Robson Parks on our website (and this space!) in late October, or contact us if you have any questions about a particular trip for next summer season. With recent trail re-openings in Jasper, before the snow starts to fly, we still have space for guided Day Hikes rambling to the summit of Tangle Ridge on Sept 29th and 30th; check out our website here for details or send us an email if interested. Happy Trails! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #ColumbiaIcefield image
The redirected new trail from Kinney Lake to Whitehorn Campground on the Berg Lake Trail is now open! Following the east side of the Robson River this machine built path snakes up through pleasant forest. We look forward to skiing down the trail this winter too! #Valemount #BCParks #Robson image
