The Tonquin Valley Trail is a loop trail, filled with spectacular views  that have no match and never repeat.    One of the most scenic trails in Jasper, and some may even say the world!

This trail can be challenging, with mud and mosquitoes, but the reward of watching a sunset over the Rampart Mountains is well worth it!

We generally schedule trips to the Tonquin after the beginning of August to give the mosquitoes a chance to die down, and the trails to dry out, but if you are up for a challenge we will go in July as well.

If you are extremely lucky you may even see the endangered Woodland Caribou grazing in the meadows.  On the final day we will make our way across the beautiful Maccarib Pass.  The Hike finishes on Marmot Basin Road, where our shuttle will be meeting us to go back to town.

This tour has a variety of route options that we change depending on conditions and availabilities. Whatever route we take involves beautiful views of the stunning Ramparts and a crossing of McCarrib Pass.

If you like a real backcountry experience, stunning scenery and the chance to see wildlife choose this adventure!
