Meeting Location
Please arrive 15 minutes before your trip time (eg. 9:30AM for a 9:45AM trip), and be aware that it is a ~45 minute drive from Jasper to the Self-Drive pickup location (assuming there are no delays), so please plan accordingly to ensure you arrive on time.
The Self-Drive pickup location is the Highway 93 rest stop located 300m south of the Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge. There is a newly constructed, fenced-in utility shed at the turnoff for this rest stop.
Note: It is not the parking lot for the Sunwapta Falls.
Also note: If you arrive on time, there is a good chance that our bus will not be there yet.
If you have any questions about where to go, or when to meet, please contact our office before leaving Jasper, as there is no cellphone reception by the Sunwapta Falls.
