MONT EDITH CAVELL
Mountain culminating at 3,363 m, with a detour to access the summit to reach the two mountain glaciers, Angel and Cavell.
Mount Edith Cavell is 3,363 metres tall. It was named in 1916 in honour of a British nurse who was shot by the Germans for allowing the escape of Belgian allies. Be careful, the road to the summit is forbidden to caravans and vehicles over 6m. This detour is really worth it because you will literally arrive at the foot of two mountain glaciers: Angel and Cavell. A relatively easy 2 km walk leads there. For the bravest, it is possible to climb to the neighbouring peaks to admire the show.

Depuis le parking et pour accéder au bas du glacier, il faut environ 20 minutes de marche sur un sentier très praticable mais qui grimpe par endroit.
Arrivé à la plate forme, la vision de l’ensemble de la montagne, de la glace et des cascades en font un des plus beaux spectacles de la région de Jasper. La glace et l’eau du petit lac offrent des couleurs somptueuses.
Il est interdit d’aller sur le bord du glacier.
Monter quelques centaines de mètres dans les éboulis pour mieux visualiser l’ensemble.
Il est possible de faire de plus grandes randonnées au départ du parking.
Superbe endroit

Une des balades les plus simples du parc : sentier quasiment goudronné, qui grimpe un peu mais rien de difficile. Jolie vue sur le glacier Edith Cavell, qui hélas fond de plus en plus...
