Whistlers Mountain (In Jasper)



For the final item on a busy day, I take the Gondola up Whistlers mountain (not to be confused with Whistler in BC). This offers fantastic views of the valley and the Jasper Village itself and even though I wasn't going to do any more hiking, I do the extra 200 metres to get to the summit itself. From here I can see the Cavell Mountain where I was the previous day and great panoramic views all around. The air is noticeably thinner up here at 2600metres high and a bit chilly too.
