Trip Description

The Skyline-Endless Chain-Nigel Pass traverse is a classic trek through this national park,

Located east of the Columbia Icefields Highway and west of the Maligne Lake drainage basin. Beginning near Jasper townsite the trek terminates about 130km to the south near Panther Falls in Banff National Park. Seven passes are traversed in the 10.5 day trip, and six days are at a treeline or higher, with several scramble ascents available along the way.


Trip logistics:

Camping areas are dictated by the National Park Service according to a rigid timetable set at time of registration. Maximum party size is 10. We are aiming for a start day on Aug 1st but will have to take any day available thereafter. Fees include registration ($15) and camping ($10/night/person). The former is non-refundable and repayable if the start date is changed.
