Itinerary:

We will be doing the Maligne Canyon Ice Walk, taking the tour with local Jasper guides, and staying at the Maligne Canyon Hostel.

We will be carpooling to Jasper Friday night and staying at the Hostel, having a leisurely brunch Saturday morning, and walking over to the Maligne Canyon Parking lot for a 12:00 noon tour of the Canyon. It is spectacular down there, you can't access the canyon in the summer and the winter is the only time to see the rocks from the bottom up. The tour takes 3-4 hours and is a good walk, but not too strenuous. After our tour people can go to Jasper Park Lodge for skating or bring their skiis and try backcountry skiing, or head for town for some shopping. Its up to you!

For food I would like to propose a spaghetti feast for Saturday supper, spaghetti is easy to do in the Hostel kitchen, and garlic bread and Ceasar salad will round out the meal. Brunch and snacks and desserts are up to each individual person.

Sunday morning will be up to each person/carpool, you can head for home if you wish, or explore Jasper some more. We need to be checked out of the Hostel by 10 am.

Oh, and I should mention, Maligne Canyon is the hostel without running water. It has heat and lights, but no running water. We'll be boiling our own dish water!

Required Items to Bring:
warm winter clothing, layers are best
warm winter boots for the Canyon Crawl
skates or skiis, depending on what you want to do
your personal food for brunch and snacks
water bottle
day pack
cash for your car pool

Recommended Items to Bring:

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

375Km

Carpool Departure Time:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $108.75 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Sunday, April 28, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
