No Experience Required

The bus idles beneath a cold, high sky as guides check scopes and binoculars. At dusk, the park’s edges stir—elk step out along the highway shoulder, ravens argue over a roadside spruce, and the mountains press close enough to feel like features of a living map. This is where the Wild Skies combo begins: two hours of patient, expert-led wildlife searching across Jasper National Park, followed by a planetarium program and a chance at telescope viewing under one of the darkest skies in Canada.
