FAQ
Will I get pictures of animals? (Winter Discovery)
Photos are usually taken from the inside the vehicle or on the ground at a safe distance from the animals.
Will I see animals on the Wildlife Discovery Tour? (Winter Discovery)
Jasper is the least inhabited of the large national parks, so chances are you will encounter animals. Keep in mind, Jasper National Park is not a zoo but a wild, protected area. The types of animals seen on the tour depends on the season, the time of day, and the weather. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
