We were out in Valemount yesterday rambling up the old Mt Terry Fox trail. Still a bit of snow to clamber over but plenty of great views to be seen! #Valemount #CanadianRockies #Photography

Out in Valemount today with a morning stroll around the Cranberry Marsh and an afternoon ramble checking out snow levels. Still a bit too early to start our guided day hikes rambling up to the scenic heights of McKirdy Meadows but still great views across the valley! We'll be starting up day-hiking in Jasper (https://starrysummit.ca/day-hikes) and the Robson Valley (https://starrysummit.ca/valemount) mid June. Stay tuned as we'll also be running a few #bitcoin and #lightning only hikes, #stacksatsstacksteps #Valemount #CanadianRockies

Always a striking difference this time of year between the teal glacial water of the mighty Athabasca River and the non-glacially fed Miette River. The Athabasca is the largest river system in Jasper National Park and empties into the Arctic Ocean! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies

We are going to be running all-inclusive overnight camping trips during this year's Dark Sky Festival October 17-18th and October 24-25th. Hiking into a backcountry campground with a portable telescope for a night of star-gazing and pristine mountain air. We provide tents, group camping equipment, and food; all you need is a pair of boots and a sense of adventure. See the link below for details, and as always #bitcoin and #lightning are gladly accepted.

Wolves, bikes, and bears oh my! Neat tracks biking along the Kinbasket Resevoir south of Valemount yesterday! Plenty of neat places with great views to check out. #Valemount #RobsonValley

We were out in Valemount yesterday and did a quick ramble around the Swift Creek Trail (a scenic loop with open viewpoints, impressive cedar trees, and peaceful forest). Valley bottom trails are currently in great shape! If you are in the region this summer and looking for a neat day trip check out our link below for trails across the Valemount region.

Sometimes our 'office work' days can be a bit further a-field. Answering emails this morning from the (somewhat chilly) waters of Saturday Night Lake. If you have questions about any of our day hiking or backpacking adventures feel free to get in touch! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #JasperNationalPark

It's still a bit early to set off canoeing the high seas of Patricia Lake, but there is great early season hiking to do in the valley bottom of Jasper National Park. Not long until summer! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

The next few years in Jasper will see a dramatic change to the landscape as the forest regenerates from last year's wildfires. Close to town, the Pyramid Bench is a great perch to watch Nature as it revitalizes the park. #MyJasper #Photography #Wildfire

Warm winds and spring sunshine have been drying out the Pyramid Bench above Jasper (a great place for a stroll anytime of the year). Later this summer we are offering guided day hikes along the Bench including lunch. See here for more info and as always we proudly accept #bitcoin and #lightning for all of our adventure.

Its a bright sunny morning in town as Jasper the Bear gazes upwards at a very summer-like Friday (and weekend to come!). Not long until the summer hiking season will be here. #CanadianRockies #Jasper

Our lead guide Ben is back from a great couple weeks working up at Bearpaw Heli-Skiing (in the North Rockies). Deep snow, cool temps, and snazzy filming locations make for excellent skiing for guests and guides alike! A highly recommended lodge if you were considering booking a heliskiing adventure. #Skiing #DroneVideo #MyJasper

Something new has been growing behind Jasper the Bear over the past month! Our friends at Rockaboo Mountain Adventures have built an in-town ice climbing wall! If you have never tried ice climbing this is a great way to be introduced to the sport. Take a look for more information here https://rockaboo.ca/jasper-ice-wall/ #MyJasper #IceClimbing

This September we will be running a second trip along Jasper's Legendary North Boundary Trail. This 13 day trek breaks up some of the longer distance days, leading to more time to enjoy the serene campsites and amazing trailside views. New for Summer 2025: We now also offer reward discounts for returning guests, and optional satellite internet connectivity at campgrounds/huts. As always we proudly accept #bitcoin and #lightning as payment for all of our guided adventures. See the link below or contact us for more details. Happy Trails!
