Jasper Skytram in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Whistlers Mountain/indian ridge

(july - September)

Start the day off by riding the Jasper Skytram. Once at the top, we’ll make the 20 min. journey to the summit of Whistlers Mountain, looking for marmots and goats along the way. From here, it is a spectacular ridgewalk to the summit of “Indian Ridge”. This is as challenging day hike with some minor exposure along the ridge crest. If you are fit enough to tackle this hike, the views are absolutely worth the effort.
