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...

“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...

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...

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...
