Fodor's Expert Review Parker Ridge Trail
Jasper National Park
Trail
This short but steep 2½-km (1½-mile) trail takes you above the tree line. At the top of Parker Ridge, there's an excellent view of the Saskatchewan Glacier, where the Saskatchewan River begins. Snowbanks can persist into early summer, but by late July carpets of wildflowers cover the trail. Stay on the path to keep erosion to a minimum. Moderate.
