The true attraction of Spirit Island is the backdrop: a ring of impressive peaks and glaciers circling the south end of Maligne Lake, and the deep turquoise water color not present at the North end of the lake. A short path forms a loop from the docks to viewing points overlooking Spirit Island.
This beautiful lake nestled in the mountains is best known for its appearance on the back of the Canadian dollar bill.
Your flight on the Jasper SkyTram is just the beginning of your high altitude experience. Step away from the Upper Station and broaden your view of Whistlers Mountain’s Alpine Tundra. Listen for the whistle of the Hoary Marmot as you wander the interpretive boardwalks.
