Covering a lot of elevation in a short span, this #hike has you wrap around the sheer wall face before ascending to the large bald above the Athabasca river valley. While moderate, the 2k ft gained in less than 2 miles (3.4 total) leads to some steep sections. Hiked 5/11/25

The view to the west towards Jasper from the viewpoint on top of Morro peak.

A nice viewpoint if you can stand it as you wrap back down along the cliff face. While steep and loose, the trail here is four feet wide so it’s easy to look away from the open drop below.

Looking up at Morro peak. The trail goes up the left side until around the tree line before crossing to the rught and up and then wrapping up the right edge of the rock wall.
