Trail description

The Cavell Meadows Trail in Jasper National Park climbs about 500 m through subalpine forest to treeline meadows beneath Mount Edith Cavell, with views of the Angel Glacier. The route starts on the Path of the Glacier Trail and makes a loop of 6 to 7 km return, about 3 to 5 hours. The upper section is often wet in early summer, wildflowers usually flourish by mid-July, and hikers must stay on the trail to protect the tundra. Cavell Road is closed for the 2026 season, so the trailhead cannot be reached this year.
