There are several advantages to spending your stay in the Canadian Rockies at the Overlander Lodge and the Jasper East Cabins, including the close proximity to several hikes that offer far less traffic than the trails surrounding Jasper townsite. Despite the beauty of the Folding Mountain trail, it is often overlooked by visitors, making it perfect for hikers who enjoy a peaceful trail off the beaten path. While this summit is not technical, the steep scramble to reach the top combined with nearly 1,200 meters of elevation gain, make Folding Mountain a challenging day out. The first three kilometres, a steep trudge up a forested path, gains a third of that total elevation. If your legs can get through the initial workout than from that point onwards the rewards of this hike will make every drop of sweat worthwhile.

Folding Mountain offers the perfect combination for hikers looking for epic views of the surrounding peaks, as well as the more subtle beauty of pine forest and alpine meadows. Once you exit the first forested section of the trail you are greeted with a gentler incline to give your calves a break, and open ridgeline views to give your eyes some scenery to revel in. Athabasca river flows by beneath you, and several Rocky Mountain peaks dot the (hopefully) blue skies beyond.

At the bottom of the Overlander Mountain Lodge driveway, at the turn onto the Yellowhead Highway, go left.

Go left. And then travel fifteen minutes into the town of Hinton.

From there, follow the signs to the Beaver Boardwalk and get ready to discover what locals to our area have always known: that some of this region's most spectacular, most memorable wonders of nature exist just outside of Jasper National Park.

Now, when you arrive at the Boardwalk, whether you have struck out in your favorite flip flops or your best pair of hiking boots, whether you are holding the hand of a child, holding a paintbrush or holding a pen, you have arrived in the perfect place.

This Park, named for its most industrious resident, whose dam work and lodge are its centerpiece, is an active and productive wetland. A place not only set aside for nature, but as a family friendly destination, designed to be experienced by everyone, of almost any ability, who loves to step out into nature.

And nature in this place amounts to an explosion of life.

In season, this life starts at, and even below, your feet.

Here you may find more wild and water flowers, grasses and sedges in one place than many people will see in a lifetime of looking. Even the beaver lodge itself features a colorful, living roof of tiny, wild blooms.

“Wow. Wow. This is like Shangri - La!”

I heard a man shout as he walked into the Miette Hot Springs for the first time.

This is a common occurrence at the hot springs which I have visited frequently over the years since my family’s lodge is one of the closest resorts to them.

Living at the Overlander Mountain Lodge and Jasper East Cabins has allowed me to enjoy one of Jasper Park’s best natural amenities at times on a daily basis.

To say my family is a regular visitor to the Miette Hot Springs would be a bit of understatement. When you visit them now you will see pictures in the main office of when people first started going there. My Grandpa was one of those people.

My Mom told me stories about when he would ride in on horseback from the town of Cadomin to soak in springs. This is one of our family pictures from him.

Our family has visited the springs for generations and I personally have seen the facility change in structure as well as popularity.

Thanks to Parks Canada and their efforts to maintain the natural environment the most important parts still remain for you and me to enjoy today.

We might not be able to ride our horses in and swim naked but we can still relax in pure rejuvenating mountain spring water with the peaceful sights and sounds of wild nature all around us. (cell phone free!)

One of the biggest reason’s people love to come to Jasper National Park is to see the wildlife. It’s literally like driving through an open zoo (except of course the animals are wild!). Each Summer tourists are stopped on the side of the road with their camera’s out ready to snap pics of these beautiful animals in their natural habitat.

I’ve lived in this area for 40 years. I've explored many areas of the park while pursuing the outdoor activities of hiking, snowboarding, biking, soaking in natural hot springs and rock climbing. Along the way I've seen a lot of wildlife and in this post I narrowed down a few suggestions for wildlife viewing on your Jasper Park vacation.

At the end of this post I also give some suggestions on how to do this safely and some points to consider if you are not used to seeing wildlife so close. Please read these carefully for both your own protection as well as the animals.

1. The Miette Hot Springs Road

The closest I have ever been to a bear has been on this road. Twice from the safety of my car and once on my mountain bike. Because this road is so narrow and goes right into the mountains when a bear is on the side of the road you are literally right next to it. As you can see in this picture I took from the safety of our car & a zoom lens. I would never get this close to a bear outside my car.

WHY BEES AT THE OVERLANDER MOUNTAIN LODGE?

The main reason is to inform and educate our guests of the importance of bees. Since the early 2000s, the disappearance and declining number of bees has increased rapidly. Bees are not only essential for their honey but also for food production as they pollinate several crops. One third of food in the world is dependent on pollinating insects.

WHERE ARE THE BEES KEPT?

The bees are located approximately 500 meters from the hotel at our old horse stables. The location has signage for your convenience. We do advise to keep a safe distance from the hives, but please enjoy yourself by taking some photographs in the surrounding area.

HOW MANY BEES DO WE HAVE?

We have six hives, each hive has one queen and the others are a variety of drones and workers. At the start of the Spring season each hive has approximately 6,000 European honeybees. By the season’s end each will have over 36,000 bees, resulting in a grand total of 210,000 bees.

WHAT IS EACH BEE TYPE RESPONSIBLE FOR?

The Worker: A worker bee is any female bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity as the queen bee. Honeybee workers keep the hive temperature uniform in the critical brood area (where new bees are raised). Workers must maintain the hive's brood chamber at 34.4 °C to incubate the eggs. If it is too hot, they collect water and deposit it around the hive, then fan air through with their wings causing cooling by evaporation. If it is too cold, they cluster together to generate body heat. Worker bees gather pollen into pollen baskets on their back legs, to carry back to the hive where it is used as food for the developing brood. Nectar from flowering plants is sucked up through the worker’s proboscis, mixed with enzymes in the stomach, and carried back to the hive where it is stored in wax cells and evaporated into honey. Workers do everything but lay eggs and mate. They build the comb from wax extruded from glands under their abdomen, they clean, defend, and repair the hive. They feed the larva, the queen, and the drones, they gather nectar, pollen, water, and propolis (tree sap). They ventilate, cool and heat the hive. During their hunt for nectar and pollen, the pollen carried on the workers’ bodies may be carried to another flower where a small portion can rub off resulting in cross pollination. Almost all of civilization's food supply depends greatly on crop pollination
