Medium Length Hiking Tour - Cavell meadows
Driving time to trail head: Forty-Five Minutes
Total distance of hike: 8.5km
Total elevation gain: 500m
This trail is by far the most popular trail in the area. Our hike gradually gains 500 meters in elevation, offering a panoramic view of the highest peak in the Athabasca Valley, Mount Edith Cavell. The humid environment created by this mountain creates an abundant amount of wild flowers that are at their best in late July and early August. There is also an incredible view of the iconic Angel Glacier.
