JONAS PASS - BRAZEAU LAKE

"The hike itself {was the best part}. We didn't experience anything negative. Matt made the trip! His cooking was excellent and his experience is awesome. If we come back, I hope Matt is still there, because he will be requested!"

Tour Description

Our Jonas Pass - Brazeau Lake Loop is likely our most adventurous trip in the Canadian Rockies. It's an exciting journey through a stunning region of Jasper National Park. On this tour we will explore the headwaters of the Brazeaus River and the vast alpine meadows that drape this remote area. "The Loop," as we like to call it, features fascinating natural and cultural history as you hike along ancient trails once used by indigenous people and later by trappers and mountain men. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound as we hike through prime wolf, moose, and elk habitat, and there's even a chance of seeing a rare mountain caribou!

Beginning at Nigel Pass near the Columbia Icefields, we hike along the majestic Brazeau River for two days before climbing up into the high country. Above treeline is an ocean of alpine meadows where herds of mountain caribou graze. After traversing these meadows, we'll loop back around and end up where we started. Join us on this tour for a truly outstanding adventure!
