The front face of Roche Miette in black and white.
Looking back towards the Athabasca river valley below. The trail is in the lower valley and not on top of the ridgeline.
The ladder chained to the rock face leads to a slippery section made easier by the heavy duty chains running the length of it.
A look back towards the highway shows how quickly this trail rises before entering the canyon. The Athabasca river valley sprawls below.
Hidden valley
Another short but steep hike in eastern #JasperNP, this hike takes you to a valley nestled under Roche Miette before you get to the bald up top. One ladder section is easily climbed along the way and you may see some mtn goats while you’re up there!
