It's a great part of Jasper National Park, and a pleasure to canoe there. I had hoped to make it further up-river for this trip, but was unable to. That is where the most spectacular scenery would have been, but this was still a great trip. It made for an exciting ride. Thanks very much Thorn.

Thanks for posting, it's always great. Every time I watch your videos I think of Nick the Frontiersman. Reminds me of the Lewis and Clark expedition except you're in Canada.

Thanks very much. It is always wonderful to paddle the rivers of the Rocky Mountains. I would have loved to be an early explorer!! I base many of my trips on the travels of David Thompson.

Yeah it was less footage than usual... an unplanned youtube video. I didn't get out much this past year, so I figured I'd slap something together. It was indeed a nice run. Slow class I in the first half, portage around the big rapid, and class II towards to the end. Thanks for checking it out Lance.

Thank you for sharing due to modern technology. I lived in Jasper in the late 70's to mid 80's and we spend lots of paddling the rivers and lakes in that stunning park. Still to this day, my favorite terrain for water travel.

Jasper is great for paddling!! The Athabasca is a fantastic canoeing river, and parts of the Sunwapta are good for an open canoe. I wish I could go there every weekend. Thanks for watching, take care.

What a beautiful stretch of the river …. stunning. I love the clips of the rapids you took Nick … very cool. I can only imagine what it must be like to experience a view like that … plus the sounds and the smell of those evergreens. Awesome nature. Thanks for sharing with us.

Yeah it's a beauty of a river. It was an impressive rapid to stand beside. A lot of power rushing past and over the boulder drop. It was a very nice stretch to paddle... it runs along the highway, but the intrusions were few and far between. Thanks for watching Robbie, take care my friend.
