What is the Discovery Trail? The Jasper Discovery Trail is a new 8 km multi-use trail around the perimeter of Jasper. Built in 2005-6 by the Municipality of Jasper and Parks Canada, this trail is already popular with visitors and residents as both a pleasant destination and a gateway to further exploration of Jasper National Park.   What are we doing on the trail?   This year, the Friends of Jasper National Park are coordinating the creation of educational and directional signs for the trail to orient trail users and give them a sense of what makes Jasper and Jasper National Park unique. We are working with a creative team of representatives from Parks Canada, Municipality of Jasper, Jasper's Green Space Committee, and Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives.   How can you contribute? In return for your gift of $50 or more, you will be recognized on a beautiful “Built by our Community” panel on the main trail kiosk. Gifts over $2000 will be recognized on their own carved grizzly paw print on the panel.   You need not be from Jasper to contribute to this trail. Here in this National Park and World Heritage Site, our community extends town boundaries and includes all who feel a special connection to Jasper and Jasper National Park. See the rest of our Donor Information Package (in the box to the right) for more on how you can help share Jasper's heritage.
