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!

Translucid Adventures-Jasper

Today we embarked on a journey Owen wasn't so sure he could do. We took him paddle boarding on Lake Edith through Translucid Adventures.

This adventure is truly for everyone. You must have an able bodied companion if you have mobility issues and have people to transfer you to the boards, but thanks to the array of  boards and various degrees of stability there was something for all.

Our son is unable to balance, use his legs or arms and was able to be paddled across the lake and back by his father ( who had just learned how to do it)
We were given a 15 minute lesson on boarding and safety and off we went.

What an amazing day. Highly recommended by Owen and our family.  A big 8 out of 10 for this establishment
