- Jasper Information Centre, 500 Connaught Drive, ☎ +1 780-852-6176.
- Rent a bike. Plenty of sports shops offer bikes, which are a great way to see the area.
- Jasper Tramway, Whistler's Road, ☎ +1 780-852-3093. Cable-car to great views of the area from Whistlers Mountain. The hike from the upper station to the summit is not too difficult with only a few steep sections, however, do not forget this is high mountain area and you can be in cold clouds very quickly, even in the summer. Should not really venture too far from the boardwalk if you are in T-shirt and flip-flops, although some idiots do.
