Pyramid Island
Landmark
Open Details
Then head to Pyramid Lake, which has the particularity of having of having a small island in the middle called Pyramid island. There is actually a pathway that reaches the island so you can explore it. In Summer, weddings are celebrated on this island.

Lake Beauvert is the most spectacular one for me. You can walk around and you will be able to explore some local fauna and flora. There are usually some cute ducks enjoying the waters over here. You can also do some canoeing on the lake for example. It is a very nice lake to enjoy for sure.

Lake Edith and Lake Annette
Park
Open Details
Lake Edith and Lake Annette are right next to each other so the best way is to park your car in between on the parking lot and go explore these two lakes on foot. You can hike all around Lake Annette as it's pretty small and you can also enjoy the small beach. And then, you can go for a walk along Edith Lake for beautiful views. Or you can do it the other way around.

Maligne Lodge
7.2
You can rest at your hotel. You will be here for two nights for easier exploring of Jasper National Park. Maligne Lodge is located pretty close to the city center so you can come here first and leave your car before dinner so you can enjoy the beers without driving back. I really liked the pool and especially the jacuzzi. It is never too hot at night in the Rocky Mountains and after a big day of exploring, the jacuzzi is an amazing way to relax.
