SKipping this is like going to the grand canyon and not looking down. Need I say more? This was the single most breathtaking hike we took in 15 days. ONly 1 mile from the parking lot-- just one long hill before you see the most wondrous things. Ice caves, icebergs, hanging glaciers. There are no hikes I know of to... more

We hiked Mount Edith Cavell the first week of August 2009. This was the best hike we did the entire week. We noticed several hikers well into their 70s (or 80s), yet you need to be in shape. The beginning is an easy loop along the glacier basin. Hike right up to the lake formed by the melting glacier. Then... more

We touched down in Edmonton at 8:30 am, pick-up our rental car, and headed towards Jasper. After the 5 hour drive (with stops) we were in Jasper, and then quickly checked-in. We figured we had about 3 hours before the kids would get tired from their jet-lag, and wanted to pack as much in as possible. We decided to go... more

We thought that Mt. Edith Cavell would be just another mountain. How wrong we were. Despite the arduous drive and sometimes steep climb, the wonder that awaited us at the end was incredible. I do not want to spoil it for anyone, so I will just say that what we saw at the end was magnificent, stunning, and completely unexpected. more

The hike to the lake and Angel Glacier is easy and scenic. We started hiking at 7:00 am and we were the only people on the trail and the only people at the lake for a good 30 minutes. On our way back to the parking lot we passed by several groups coming in so if you want to be... more

The road is windy and steep...but what a wonderful reward at the end of it. We found the scenery simply stunning, so peaceful and the different colours were amazing. An absolute must see if you are in the area. more

This was one of the best places we went to during our short trip to both Jasper and Banff. The road to get there is pretty long and windy, but no more than any other mountain road. The hike is steep if you go to the left and fairly flat to the right, but together make a nice loop. The... more

The road up the mountain has lots of twists and turns but it can be easily done with care - it is well worth the trip. When you arrive at the car park you cannot see the glacier and it is necessary to take a short walk up to it. You have a choice of two paths. The one on... more

You must go to see this place. Walk right up and touch iceburgs. Incredible. Easy walk and great sights. Take it slow on the road there its a little bumby. Make sure you include this as part of your trip. You won't be disappointed. more
