Few
summits in the park can match Mount Edith Cavell's jagged
beauty. A small powder blue melt water lake and beautiful Angel
Glacier is easily reached by a short self guiding trail at the foot of
the mountain's north wall. Or take a tour with one of our sponsors
for a full interpretive tour. The trail winds its way through the mass
of boulders, rubble, sand and rock flour formed by the grinding and
wearing of the rocks around the glacier tongue. Another longer trail
leads to picturesque Cavell Meadows. Neighboring Dune Wall is a
great multi-pitch climbing area. Just up the road is the starting point
for the Tonquin Valley trails. The road is open in the summer only,
becoming a ski trail in the winter. Spend a few days at Cavell
Hostel
to enjoy super cross-country ski touring at its maximum.
