Area Guide
Untouched and waiting to be explored, Jasper is located in the
centre of one of the largest wilderness areas in the Western
Canada. From the roar of Athabasca Falls channelling the spring
melt, to the quiet of spring flowers blooming on an alpine meadow -
Jasper is a world of surprises. Overlooking the convergence of the
Athabasca Rivers and Miette Canada River, Tekarra Lodge is ideally
situated to start your outdoor adventures. Hike in the morning and
golf in the afternoon. Smell the clear, fresh air and watch the
elk, moose and deer graze right before your eyes, or just relax on
one of our many beaches. Anything is possible in Jasper.
Adventure
There are an abundance of outdoor and indoor activities in
the area for you to enjoy. Try your hand at backpacking, horseback
riding, golfing, white water rafting, canoeing or take a guided
