Description
The distinctive peak of the 11,033-foot Mount Edith Cavell is a familiar sight from many viewpoints around the park and Jasper. To get an up close and personal view of the impressive mountain, however, take a scenic drive on the old Icefields Parkway to its towering northeast face. Here you'll see the Angel Glacier, which lies in the saddle of the mountain's lower slopes, and, if you're lucky, plenty of local wildlife. Picnic facilities are available, so pack a lunch beforehand--the dining backdrops don't get much better--then take in one of the excellent area hikes to see beautiful glacial terrain and alpine meadows.
