WHAT TO DO
Hiking
There are 13.2 miles of trail spread out over three loops across the reserve. The trails page provides detailed descriptions of all three trails as well as topography and elevation maps. Two of those trails are classified as easy, and the third is advanced due to its length and elevation change. Upon securing a one-time or annual pass, a map is emailed that details the area and provides instruction regarding usage.
Camping
Camping is allowed at Jasper Mountain Reserve via an individual camping pass, which includes the day pass. Kids are free. Consider a family annual pass for a year of fun. A community fire pit is a welcome way to connect and wait for the stars.
Birding
Conservation is the heart of Jasper Mountain Reserve, and the outdoor recreation component provides the opportunity to experience the work to rebuild the natural woodland and native species of this region. This effort attracts many species, including Great Gray Owl, Northern Harrier, and Cedar Waxwings. Make sure to pack your binoculars and bird book.
Cross Country Skiing
Throughout the winter months, there are a few magical windows of weather that provide ample snow to groom for cross country skiing. Check the Jasper Mountain Reserve website regularly for updates regarding grooming, conditions, and access. At 3,400 feet, not only are the views spectacular, but the fact that the fog is stuck in the valley makes this a must visit winter escape.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WHEN TO GO
Jasper Mountain Reserve is open May through November and as conditions allow during the winter. Updates regarding off-season use are posted to the Jasper Mountain Reserve website.
HOW TO GET THERE
