Miette Mountain Range, Jasper National Park      
Jasper National Park
Riven by the rugged spine of the Great Divide, with the wild  beauty of Jasper National Park in the east and deep forests and long  lakes in the west, the Jasper area covers more than 11,000 km2 of  untamed mountain wilderness. Jasper's elevation and terrain provide  diverse habitat for wildlife, including wolf, caribou, black bear,  grizzly, elk, moose, mountain goat, and more than 2,500 bighorn sheep.  Here you can walk on a living glacier, cast a line in emerald-green  lakes, try heli-skiing, or hike more than 1,000 km of trails.
Athabasca Glacier [D6] On the boundary of Jasper and Banff  national parks, the Columbia Icefield is a 325 km2 mass of ice and snow,  the largest known south of the Arctic Circle. It is made up of eight  glaciers, including the Athabasca Glacier, which faces the chalet-style  Columbia Icefield Centre. On a Snowcoach Tour from the center, visitors  can stand on this tongue of 1,000-year-old ice and learn about the  origins of the massive glaciers. Behind the center is a tiny protected  patch of Engelmann spruce, almost as old as the ice itself.
Icefields Parkway [A4-E8] The 230 km stretch of Hwy 93 from  Lake Louise to Jasper, edged by glaciers along its entire length, is one  of the world's most scenic highways. Many stops and lookouts reveal  vistas over emerald lakes, across alpine meadows and snowy peaks. Some,  like the Goat Lookout, are good places to spot mountain goats, elk, or  bighorn sheep. Off the highway at Bow Pass, a short trail at Peyto Lake  lookout leads to a spectacular view of this glacial lake, the highest  point on the parkway.
Jasper [A4] Once a way station for prospectors, surveyors,  naturalists, and trappers, Jasper first became a park in 1915 with the  formation of a tent camp on Lac Beauvert. Today the town is a year-round  recreation center and the heart of Jasper National Park. Old Fort Point  (1811) is an early fur-trading post, while the intricate 21 m totem  pole outside the railway station was carved by the Haida of British  Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. Patricia and Pyramid lakes offer  quiet hiking and horse-riding trails, while hiking in Maligne Canyon, a  narrow, 50-m-deep limestone gorge, takes one close to bighorn sheep.
Mica Creek, B.C. [E2]      
Rising 244 m and dividing the Lake Revelstoke and Kinbasket  Lake reservoirs, Mica Dam is a major source of hydro power, and was the  first dam built on the Columbia River, in 1973. The tiny community of  Mica Creek, reached via Hwy 23 from Revelstoke, is known for its  bountiful snowfall, snowmobile tours, and heli-skiing.
Whistlers Mountain
[A4] For a truly spectacular view of the Jasper townsite  ringed by mountains as well as views of the Columbia Icefield and  British Columbia's Mount Robson, take the Jasper Tramway up to the 2,250  m peak of Whistlers Mountain. A restaurant and hiking trails are at the  summit.
