We've been to Jasper National Park numerous times, but never been here until now. We had to wonder how we could have overlooked such a gem. Although it's quite the drive to get there (about 20 km of switchbacks), it was well worth the trip. The hike up to the meadow where the glacier is at the bottom of the... More

Its a bit of a drive but well worth it. Once you get there make sure to take a pack with some water and what not. Remeber you are in the back country so weather can come fast. More

If the weather is fair - you are in for a great hike up to the meadows - July/August is best when the flowers bloom and the Angel Glacier at any angle is well worth seeing More

We do this hike with our kids at least a few times every year, it always seems to change a little, and rain or shine, the beauty of this area is unparallelled. This is a nice easy hike for families with small children, my kids have been doing this hike since they were a year and a half old. Layer... More

A small bus picked us up at our hotel. A very friendly guide told us the story of Edith Cavell (a nurse martyred during the war). There is a beautiful drive up to the trail-head. The trail is relatively easy, but the altitude makes it harder. At the end of the trail there is a lake and a small glacier.... More

This definitely was the highlight of our visit to Jasper National Park. We walked the path on the left which was a great deal uphill, but the views were spectacular and so worth it. Cavell Lake with icebergs in it was super! Being is close to the glacier was awesome. Our return through the meadow also beautiful. This was so... More

Nice hike up to the Cavell Meadow. Most of the wild flowers, unfortunately, had welted during the first week of September. More

Years ago the road up was much narrower and there was a tea house you could visit on the colder days. Why they got rid of the tea house is still a mystery. I've climbed Edith Cavell three times (all during the summer) in order to appreciate her you need to get out of your car and hike. I recommend... More
