This is a one way shuttle - you may book a return ticket after making this booking
This shuttle primarily caters to those embarking on a multi-day backcountry hike along the Skyline Trail by providing one-way transportation between trailheads.
If you are hiking the trail South to North (recommended), this is the correct shuttle. You will start your hike at Maligne Lake.

Our shuttle can then collect you there at 9:15 am and transport you to Maligne Lake where you can begin your hike. Your car will be waiting when you finish.
For those hiking the trail in reverse, please instead choose the item Express Hiker's Shuttle - Maligne Lake to Jasper direction. We suggest parking your vehicle at Maligne Lake (South Trailhead) which will be the ending point of your hike. Our shuttle would collect you at 10 am and transport you to North Skyline / Signal Mountain Trailhead where you can begin your hike. Your car will be waiting when you finish.
