Wilcox Pass

Reviewed By Czarofconsoles - Vancouver, Canada

Really amazing hike, with great views of Athabasca Glacier. It was a great sunny day with cool winds when we did this hike. Starts from the trailhead just a km away from Athabasca Glacier. Nice steady incline but not much challenging to the camping spot. Throughout the hike views to the glacier and valley don't leave you. You reach the intersection and take a slightly steep incline to the viewpoint just in front of glacier. Views were spectacular and we had a great lunch in those windy conditions.

Mt. Edith Cavell

Reviewed By TLG444 - Lethbridge, Canada

The drive was beautiful but a bit scary. Very narrow with 180 degree switchbacks and drop-offs in some areas. We arrived at the parking area late afternoon, after a long day of sight-seeing. It was starting to get cold and the mosquito's were horrendous so we decided to not attempt the hike to the glacier.

Pyramid and Patricia Lakes

Reviewed By 571MargaretM - Brisbane, Australia

visited in winter. it is just a short drive outside of Jasper, there is a motel, cafe, toilets and lots of car parking, the lake has little boats - that some one has dragged up onto the shore line and they are surrounded in ice - like boats in an ice cube. people were skating, and riding bikes on the lake. such a beautiful spot. you can hire skates there or else bring your own. in summer it would be nice walk to the lake. the trees are affected by the pine beetle and when i was there burning and cleaning was taking place. fun place to take the family on a sunny winter day.
