Miette Hotsprings and Mount Edith Cavell in jasper

Miette Hotsprings: If the chill of the mountains gets to you, thaw your bones at the Miette Hot Springs. These steaming natural hot springs are located about an hour east of Jasper along the Yellowhead Highway and Miette Hotsprings Road. The warmest springs within the Canadian Rockies, there are two pools at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), and a third that is a cooler plunge pool at 20 degrees Celsius. Group rates and pool rentals are available. For staying in jasper in Canada select only cheap hotels in jasper Canada.
Mount Edith Cavell: The distinctive peak of the 11,033-foot Mount Edith Cavell is a familiar sight from many viewpoints around the park and Jasper. To get an up close and personal view of the impressive mountain, however, take a scenic drive on the old Icefields Parkway to its towering northeast face. Here you'll see the Angel Glacier, which lies in the saddle of the mountain's lower slopes, and, if you're lucky, plenty of local wildlife. Picnic facilities are available, so pack a lunch beforehand--the dining backdrops don't get much better--then take in one of the excellent area hikes to see beautiful glacial terrain and alpine meadows.
