This imposing, easily-recognizable peak is one of the park's best-loved landmarks. Named for a British nurse who was executed for helping prisoners escape during WWI, the mountain was known as the "White Ghost" to the Native Americans. The road leading up the mountain is steep and is often closed in winter. At its end is a picnic area and hiking opportunities. The Path of the Glacier Trail leads visitors around the area, granting views of Angel Glacier and other sights. Another trail leads to Cavell Meadows, which has high-altitude, fragile flowers and vegetation. A nearby lake also provides great photo opportunities. A 40-minute drive from Jasper. Hours: Daily dawn-dusk Admission: Daily Pass Adult CAD8.90; Senior CAD7.65; Child CAD4.45; Family CAD17.80 |
