Trail description

A two to three day trip in Jasper National Park from the Fryatt trailhead on the Geraldine fire road, up the Fryatt Creek valley past the Lower Fryatt and Brussels campgrounds, then a steep climb up the headwall to the Sydney Vallance Hut in the upper valley below Mount Fryatt. About 21.7 km one way with some 1,050 m of climbing; campground permits must be booked with Parks Canada and the hut with the Alpine Club of Canada, and walkers return the same way. Carry bear spray and know how to use it.
