The totem pole seen at the Jasper train station was erected in 1913. It was believed to have been carved between 1870 and 1880. It was removed in 2009 due to weathering and structural damage, and determined to be beyond repair. A new totem pole was erected there in 2011, and is 13.7m tall.
A few months after this film was released, the Jasper Park Lodge as seen was destroyed by fire. It was completely rebuilt and reopened in 1953.
