Trails in the valley bottoms and the Jasper townsite area are in good shape for hiking and mountain biking. Some snow may still exist in shadier colder areas, but in general the trails are bare and dry with a few muddy sections. Bears are out and about now so use all the standard bear precautions. Keep the Wild in Wildlife.
Spring is tick season.
To reduce the possibility of picking up ticks, tuck pant cuffs into boots or socks and avoid stopping in sun exposed grassy areas. After an outing, inspect yourself and your companions for ticks. Skyline, Tonquin, Brazeau Alpine areas are currently snow covered. Skis or snowshoes are required for travel. Please be sure to consult the avalanche report before starting your trip.
