JASPER COMMUNITY HABITAT FOR THE ARTS
The Habitat for the Arts is designed for exploration, engagement, and experiences in all things art. Traveling and discovering what makes you human always leads to visual storytellers…whether it's a painter capturing the landscape on canvas or a potter creating from raw elements…you always come away with a greater sense of who you are. Without these ‘stories’ and ‘storytellers’ you would be void of culture. You are invited to join in the many music, art, theatre, or film nights offered at The Habitat.

JASPER MOTORCYCLE TOURS
281 Reviews
Snap an endless stream of photos from the comfort of the sidecar attached to a Harley Davidson while Jasper Motorcycle Tours takes you on the adventure of a lifetime. Feel the mountain fresh air fix the smile on your face. Smell the trees and flowers in bloom. Look in every direction to see endless unobstructed views of Jasper National Park. You are surrounded by stunning emerald green lakes, snow-crested mountains, blue glaciers, and massive icefields all linked by a narrow deserted stretch of highway. Your tour guide is your driver and he will treat you and your companion to sights missed by motorcoach and car. Park along the highway or lonely back road to watch bears, mountain goats, elk, and moose as they move through the forest. Step off the motorcycle to walk a trail to a thundering waterfall. Then hop back into the sidecar or switch to the seat behind the driver so you can salute other riders as they do the same mountain-lined trek. Jasper National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Alberta and it's vast, untouched, and stupendous by motorcycle. The Icefields Parkway is rated as one of the world's greatest drives.
