Once in Jasper the trailhead for Tonquin Valley is at beautiful Cavell Lake, 30km south of the townsite. From Jasper travel the Icefields Parkway south for 6km, then turn right onto 93A. Follow 93A 5km to the Edith Cavell Road. The parking area is 11km up the road, just past the Cavell Hostel. Walk down the gravel road right of the parking area and cross the bridge over Cavell Creek (50m). Continue up the gravel road for 50m until you see the corrals on the left. All Horseback and guided hiking trips meet at 8:30am.
Important Note: The 2006 "Gemtrek" map is inaccurate! Tonquin Valley Adventures is located at the middle of the lake. NOT at the west end.
