Jasper Skytram- Jasper, AB

The skytram was one of our favorites in 2016. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
The bathrooms were accessible and located in the lower and upper buildings. The we're clean and fairly spacious.
The staff were sure to have the wheelchair user enter and exit the cable car safely. They also made sure he had a window to view out of.
There was an accessible bbq vendor and Starbucks at the lower building with a covered deck and a beautiful view. They also had a gift store.
The upper building at the top of the tram also had an accessible gift store but was a bit cramped. The restaurant is on the second floor and is not accessible to wheelchairs or scooters. 10-12 stairs.  There was a small loop for wheelchair users but anyone in a power chair would have a hard time going of the wooded path.
Another highly recommended accessible activity.

Downstream Lounge

The Downstream Lounge is a friendly downstairs pub with food for all tastes. The liquor, beer and wine menus have something for everyone.
There is a lovely section of tables perfect for accessibility. You must take an elevator downstairs and cross through the kitchen but the staff is more than accommodating.  We were escorted both down and up the elevator while they saved a table for us. The bathrooms are plenty big enough to accommodate any sized wheelchair.
We highly recommend this venue for accessibility. Hip place with cool decore!

De'd Dog Pub and Grill Jasper,AB

Unfortunately there is no access for power chairs or scooters to this venue. Staff were unable to accommodate a small ramp for the step outside that would be all it would take to allow wheelchair users in. Quite disappointing
