The Wilcox Pass Trailhead is a popular starting point for hikers looking to explore the stunning landscapes of Jasper National Park in Canada. Nestled at an elevation that offers breathtaking views, this trailhead leads adventurers into a world of alpine meadows and rugged mountain scenery. This is considered one of the best hikes along the Icefields Parkway and makes for a great addition to any Banff National Park hiking itinerary.

This trail is 5.8 miles in length and has about 1,600 feet of elevation gain making it moderate in difficultly, especially when considering your elevation above sea level.
