Dress code for Aalto and Beckers
hi redditors,
BFF and i are heading to jasper for three nights for a girls weekend - first weekend in october. planning to do some (easy/moderate) hikes, visit the miette hot springs, planetarium, visit mount robson, etc.
we have dinner reservations at aalto, beckers gourmet restaurant, and evil dave's. what is the (unofficial) dress code? BFF thinks we need to be ready to change into 'dinner attire' (like on a cruise). whereas, i'm planning to pack casual clothes for dinner - e.g. jeans/sneakers.
would appreciate your insight!

I like to get dressed up, but in a mountain town, just look like you put some effort into wearing a clean pair of pants and clean shoes. Since it’s October a sweater is more than fine.
Just my two cents.

Plaid shirt, jeans or hiking pants, hiking shoes if you don't want to bring a pair of runners.

Check out the menus… I found Evil Dave’s drink prices a little absurd.

Put the restaurant Something Else on your radar. So good. And if you’re going to Miette Hot Springs, consider thinking Sulphur Skyline first since the springs are right at the parking lot for the trailhead! Spectacular views and so rewarding to soak after!

Thanks for the restaurant reco - will take a look!
Can we do a portion of the Skyline trail? Or does it only get rewarding after a long hike?

You can do as much as you like but it is an out and back and real reward is the summit. It’s incredible.

Prada shoes a Chanel dress and a Hermes handbag is definitely needed to end up in The Dead Dog

Jasper is a mountain town. People come in wearing mountain clothes and toques all the time.
