HI Mount Edith Cavell Wilderness Hostel
Jasper National Park, Alberta
Backed by the towering Mount Edith Cavell, this spot is a favourite for hikers, cyclists and even cross-country skiers. The unique location of the hostel gives guests easy access to the breathtaking views of Angel Glacier and Cavell Meadows. Many backcountry adventurists use it as a base to explore the trails of the Tonquin Valley.
This hostel is now closed for the season. We look forward to seeing you in June 2022.
