JASPER, ALB.: Last week, some of the most visited places in Jasper National Park are reopening after devastating wildfires. Visitor experiences that have reopened since the Jasper Wildfire Complex required closing the entire park include Miette Hot Springs, the Columbia Icefields, Sunwapta Falls, Pyramid Lake, Athabasca Falls, Old Fort Point, and Lake Annette. As one of the hardest-hit areas during the wildfire, Maligne Road is a significant reopening—in addition to all the incredible work to open many other popular areas. Parks Canada will continue to reopen areas of Jasper National Park as soon as it is safe to do so.
