Mount Edith Cavell

From Jasper, it is well worth making the trip 30 km (19 mi.) further south to Mount Edith Cavell (3363 m (11,0374 ft); approach on Highway 93 A) named after the British nurse who was a First World War heroine. A winding mountain road, about 15 km (91/2 mi.) long (open Jun.-Oct.) twists and turns up to Cavell Lake and a car park at the foot of the impressive north face. The Angel Glacier moves downwards from a saddle. A short footpath leads through the moraine to a little lake below the tongue of the glacier. There is a very pleasant 3 to 4-hour walk up to the Cavell Meadows, from where there is a particularly good view of the Angel Glacier and Mount Edith Cavell.
