Angel Glacier is visible from Cavell Meadows, which spills over a 300 metres (984 ft) cliff on the north face. Access to the Tonquin Valley trails can be found about one kilometre before the end of the Mount Edith Cavell Road. There is a parking area across from the Mount Edith Cavell Hostel. A short walk down the gravel path leads to the north end of Cavell Lake. There is small bridge across the stream that empties the lake. From here there are good views with the lake in the foreground and the Mount Edith Cavell massif in the background.
Sunwapta Falls – The falls are accessible via a 600 metres (2,000 feet) access road off the Icefields Parkway, which connects Jasper and Banff National Parks. The falls have a drop of about 18.5 metres (61 feet). Sunwaptais a Stoney language word that means “turbulent water”. The falls is most spectacular in the late spring when the spring melt is at its peak. There are two falls, a lower and an upper one. The one most people see is the upper falls, as access is easier. The lower falls are a short distance away. The water originates from the Athabasca Glacier, and volumes are higher in early summer because of glacial melting. It is a Class 6 waterfall, with a drop of 60 ft (18 m) and a width of 30 ft (9.1 m).
Athabasca Falls is in Jasper National Park approximately 30 kilometres south of the townsite of Jasper and just west of the Icefields Parkway. A powerful, picturesque waterfall, the falls are not known so much for the height of the falls (23 metres), as it is known for its force due to the large quantity of water falling into the gorge. The falls can be safely viewed and photographed from various viewing platforms and walking trails around the falls. Access is from the nearby parking lot, which leads off hwy 93A just northeast of the falls.
Leech Lake is a few miles south of Mt.Edith Cavell, heading south on Hwy 93A a short distance before joining the Icefield Parkway (Hwy 93).
