7. Go White Water Rafting On The Athabasca River
Regular readers should already know that enjoying a rafting trip down the beautiful Athabasca River in Jasper National Park does not require any prior whitewater rafting experience. Professional guides will teach you everything you will need to know to have a memorable, enjoyable float. Children as young as six years old can participate in beginner tours, which include Class 2 rapids, which are thrilling but still definitely doable. If you believe you’re too old to participate in this activity, think again! The senior set has even been reported hooting and hollering all the way down this river. This glacier-fed river is cold even though white water rafting runs from May to September. Life jackets, paddle jackets, neoprene booties, and wetsuits will all be provided by your outfitter to keep you warm and safe. All you need to bring is a bathing suit or clothing that you don’t mind getting wet.
