Backpacking the Brazeau Loop - Jasper National Park

The Brazeau Loop is a demanding high-elevation trail that crosses three mountain passes and two National Parks (Banff and Jasper). River fords were necessary crossing the Brazeau as the bridge was washed out. Efforts on this longer-distance wilderness hike come with many rewards and strong hikers can complete the loop in five days. The passes may still be snow covered until July; travel is not recommended earlier in the season. #jasper #banff #backpacking #hiking #canada #canadianrockies #mountains #rockies #bears #caribou
