Trail etiquette
Jasper National Park
Portions of Jasper National Park remain closed or affected due to impacts from the Jasper Wildfire. Please check for up to date information.
Thanks for respecting our trails and keeping them safe so that they can be enjoyed by all.
- Please respect dog restrictions and closures
- Do not walk or snowshoe on ski tracks
- Leave no trace. Pack out all your garbage
Not all signed destinations are safe for winter travel
- You don't need to venture far to be in avalanche terrain. Choose your winter trail from a list of designated safe destinations.
- If you plan to travel beyond designated winter destinations, ensure you have appropriate knowledge, skills and carry a transceiver, probe and shovel. Avalanche Forecast.
Pets are welcome on most trails but must be leashed at all times
- To a wild animal, your dog is a canine – a predator. An animal may behave aggressively or flee, endangering itself or your pet.
- Walking or snowshoeing on the track set portion of cross country ski trails endangers skiers who later use the track.
Never feed or follow wildlife
- If you see tracks, do not follow them toward the animal.
- If you see an animal, give it lots of space and observe from a distance with binoculars or a telephoto lens.
Check the weather and trail report before departing
- Cell phones are not always reliable throughout the park.
- Trail reports are updated regularly as conditions change. Trails are rated for their overall condition and difficulty.
- Review the weather, trail conditions, and current closures before your trip and enjoy!
