September is one of my favourite times of year in the mountains. Be sure to pack for all weathers. We went a few years back to jasper sept 17 and there was a foot of snow the day we arrived. Two days later it was 32 Celsius. Huge swings. There is plenty of stuff to do no matter the weather. Hiking and hot tubs if it’s cool. Beaches and river rafting if it’s warm. Lots of good mountain biking if you are into that. If mountain biking use the trailforks app, as it is the most helpful for finding the type of ride you are after.
Camping for a large rig may be more difficult to find with whistlers being closed for the year. Wapiti has some stalls sized to fit with electric. Without whistlers I think the only full hook up option is the koa in Hinton. Snaring is a cute little rustic campground and the riverfront stalls fit larger rigs, it is first come first serve and no hookups or dump station. Wabasso has lots of larger stalls, but I think they close sept 7 most years.
Parks Canada’s reservations for the year open sometime in January and everything fills up fast (within a few hours). But if you don’t get what you want keep looking as the date nears because lots of people book extra and then cancel.
Personally I love jasper, and am sad that I probably won’t make it there this year due to so many other places I also want to see...
