We took several photos of the Mountain. A beautiful sight on the trip down from Jasper to Banff. There are some good views to be had of the mountain as you drive. South.
We walked the glacier trail and were astounded at the sights...so close to the glacier and the trickle of the water run off. Chunks of glacier in a pool at the bottom that you could touch. Fantastic picture opportunities. The drive up is breathtaking and chance to see Mama and cub at side of road.
Fortunate to visit just before the closure. Took the easier trail to the Glacier and returned back the same way. The Glacier pond with ice bergs is serene, unique, and breathtakingly beautiful.
The lovely, winding road to Edith Cavell will be closed for the foreseeable future due to the debris clean-up efforts. Don't plan on seeing anything here until at least 2013. I am in Jasper now and really wish it was open (I have been numerous times and it's a favorite). Wildflowers, glaciers, lakes and the awesomeness of nature.
I was in Banff and Jasper during the first two weeks of August and did many of the hiking trails.The most vivid and memorable trail was at Mt. Edith Cavell. You can go on the beginning trails which leads you to a beautiful pool of melted glacier ice. You can go back to the parking lot or continue to the more difficult hiking trails. It was worth the hike to continue to the top. Once at the top you had to walk on some trails covered with snow. The view was spectacular and breathtaking!
