The lodge has not yet publicly said which structures on the site are still standing, other than the main lodge building. Since a towering wall of fire roared through Jasper National Park and into the townsite on July 24, locals and tourists have been worried about the fate of noteworthy landmarks.Officials began evacuating about 25,000 people from the park late on July 22 when a suspected lightning strike sparked a blaze in the forest more than 12 kilometres south of the townsite.

But the creation in place now isn't the first one. Jasper's original totem pole was repatriated to Masset, B.C., in 2010.
As of July 28, Parks Canada was still working on an inventory of attractions and structures in the park outside of the townsite.
