Perfect for people looking for a bit of a challenge but who are limited on time. Morro Peak is only 16km away from Jasper so the driving time is short, the hike itself is up a trail to the summit where you will get an outstanding view of the Athabasca River Valley and the surrounding area. It is less crowded then some of Jasper's other trails but it is close to the highway so although we are off the beaten track we can hear the highway.
We begin pickups in town at 8am. Please be ready in front of your accommodation at 8am.
If your accommodation is outside of town we may be a few minutes later but please be ready at 8am.
We provide transportation from in and around the Jasper townsite. If you are staying outside of town we meet at the totem pole across from 500 Connaught drive at 8am
