Due to road construction, we could not drive all the way in. However, the road up to the area was a beautiful, scenic drive. The curves that others mentioned didn't bother us at all; just a nice two-lane country road. We parked by a lake, and there are trails around here. The lake was a beautiful color, and a tranquil spot.

A nice drive & not hard to find. Walk from the car park is only about 800 metres and although uphill is not strenuous. Not too many people and the scenery is lovely. Can't walk on the glacier but you do get a good view of it & it is definitely worth going to see.

Mount Edith Cavell is located in Jasper National Park, and this impressive peak is located entirely within Alberta. The parkway is a twisting, turning 14 kilometre route through sub-alpine forests to the slopes of Mt. Edith Cavell. The hairpin turns add to the fun.
You can expect to see lots of people here in the summer. There are several hike options beginning with an easy walk to a 5 hr hike to the Cavell Meadows. The trail does start off paved. I didn't do the full hike. Even the views from parking lot just don't get any better than this.

We took a (roughly) 90min drive from Hinton up to Mount Edith Cavell as it had been recommended to us by a guide on a previous tour. We parked just further down from the main car park where there were 3 toilet cabins located.
We noticed the main pathway that went up to the left, and saw it was really busy with lots of people walking. Instead we decided to go right and walked an old glacial riverbed. It was very rocky and uneven but a pretty easy walk.

When we reached the glacier we approached it, as were other people who had arrived from the main path, however we later found out that there were warning signs at the top of the main path that said to stay away from the glacier as it posed a danger to life!

Obviously as we hadn't observed this we went right to the foot of the glacier to get lots of pics, which although is absolutely awesome, was terrifying also as here you could hear loud, echoey cracking sounds that was one of the most eerie things I've heard! Our son freaked when he saw a small piece of ice drop down as he thought the whole thing was going to come crashing down, so he and I scampered off toward the main path to safety!
Later hubby explained that glaciers are moving all the time, hence the cracking noises and little bits falling off now and again.

So once up safely on the main path we could really appreciate the view of the mountain face and angel glacier. It's so huge, it was just beautiful! The lake that was below was apparently made when a huge piece of the glacier had broken free one night in 2014 (I think it was 2014??)

The trek back down the paved path was fairly easy as it was mostly downhill. We all agreed that it was definitely worth a visit as we'd all really enjoyed it, and of course it's free which is always a bonus :)

If you want to go close to a glacier with not making much effort you should visit this place. There is a small parking space where you can easily park your car and in 10 minutes you are able to go very close to the glacier. It´s suitable for anyone.
