Day 2: Full day in Jasper
Start the day with an invigorating hike as your guide takes you high up into the alpine for a seven-kilometer round trip up above the tree-line, with views of glaciers, mountain peaks and blue water lakes. The highlight for this afternoon is a food tour of Jasper, which takes you to four different local restaurants for handpicked dishes, each paired with a drink and the area's stories and tales along the way. After this multi-course dinner your guide takes you up Maligne Lake road for sightseeing and with a bit of luck some wildlife viewing.
