an exceptional soft trail to one of Jasper's most scenic areas. The trail is 1,6 km
and takes 1-2 hours. This short trail take you across a rocky landscape recently covered
with glacial ice. Signs explain how the area is now begin recolonized by plants and
animals. The trail, which is paved initially, climbs steadly for half a kilometre to a
junction near the end of the pavement. Continue straight ahead to Cavell Pond, which laps
the ice of the Cavell Glacier. You may see icebergs that have fallen into the water.
Across the valley the Angel Glacier rests her wings in the cirque between Mount Edith
Cavell (left) and Sorrow Peak (right). |
