About

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), please instead choose the item Express Hiker's Shuttle - Jasper to Maligne Lake direction. You will start your hike at Maligne Lake. We suggest parking your vehicle at the North Skyline / Signal Mountain Trailhead which would be the end point of your hike. Our shuttle can then collect you 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, this is the correct shuttle. 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.

For those without a vehicle, pick-up or drop-off is available from the Two Brothers Totem Pole (across Parks Canada Visitor Center) on 416 Connaught Drive 15 minutes prior to departure time.

If you are planning on hiking elsewhere in the valley, pick-up or drop-off is also available at Watchtower or Jacques Lake Trailheads.
