We went to the Cavell glacier in August 2012. The weather was first cloudy but with a lot of sunny spells. The road to the walk is 18 km with some switchbacks. The trail starts at the end of the road. The big parking lot was full at noon.so better plan a morning start. Already at the start you'll have...

We visited the Cavell last June on the advice of some locals. The drive up is STEEP and includes a number of super-tight switchbacks. This can make the drive down an interesting, if not scary adventure as well. Driving down in a lower gear made the trip to the bottom not so hair-raising for us. Once at the top, the...

This is such an interesting glacier. It hangs off the side of Mt. Edith Cavell and does resemble an angel. We have been here several times, but the first time I saw it was the most awe inspiring. You walk out of the parking lot and onto the trail, you over look an old glacier path. The area is just...

There is a basic trail that will take you closer to the Angel glacier, and worth the VERY short hike for some amazing photos. There is also another path, the Cavell Meadows hike that I did in July two years ago. We went on a rainy day but it was still worth it. The flowers in bloom that time of...

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...

Nice mountain to hike around and a nice little fishing below. The most impressive mountain you see from Jasper.
