Wilcox Pass is one of the best bang-for-your-buck hikes in the Canadian Rockies. It's one of those trails that is easy to recommend to those who love to hike. The moderate trail offers stunning views of the Columbia Icefield. It climbs through subalpine meadows before opening up to jaw-dropping panoramas of the Athabasca Glacier and surrounding peaks. Come expecting some fantastic wildflowers!

Along the way, hikers can take a break at the iconic Parks Canada red chairs, which are perfectly placed to soak in the scenery. Wilcox Pass is an unbeatable choice for those looking for a rewarding hike without a full-day commitment.
