The best sights though are the unexpected vistas caught out the window , from lakes to waterfalls , mountains and novelties such as garbage bins in cages to stop wild bears eating food scraps or signs warning to carry ‘ bear repellent ’ on bushwalking paths .
without exerting any energy , but there are paths to explore and even a costumed yodeller to complete the experience . There ’ s also an accessible cable car at the Jasper Skyrail - the longest and highest aerial tramway in the Rockies .

Niagra Falls
Aboard the famous ‘ Maid of the Mist ’ boat , wearing the iconic plastic raincoat , is a breathtaking way to experience panoramic views , hear the roar of the falls and feel the moist mist blowing from the falls brush your face . The boat is accessible for wheelchair users with ramped entry and assistance if required . I had to strategically position myself to see past other taller passengers and the edge of the boat but got a great view from my manual wheelchair . Stand back if you don ’ t want to get wet !
Arriving at the falls is as breathtaking as the boat trip itself . Niagra Falls is actually three separate waterfalls – American Falls , Bridal Veil Falls and Canadian Horseshoe Falls – and all are viewable free-of-charge from the Canadian side . Enter via the Table Rock Information Centre which houses breathtaking views of the falls , information , accessible bathrooms , and accessible interactive displays . Ramps around the falls can be quite steep , but easy access to the centre from the hotels can be found using the accessible Incline Railway – it offers great views and level access to the guest centre which is your gateway to the falls .
What to do in Niagra
Stay the night and enjoy a spectacular light show projected onto the falls – many accessible hotels even have a view of the falls out the window . By day take in the Floral Clock – photographed nearly as often as the falls , and the picturesque town of Niagra on the lake .
The Sky Wheel has accessible enclosed capsules with views over the Falls , as does the Skylon tower which takes you 770 feet upwards in
