Morro Peak

Morro Peak, located near Jasper in the Canadian Rockies, offers a challenging 8.5-km return hike with rewarding views over the Athabasca River valley. Just 16 km from the Jasper townsite, this small mountain is accessed from a trailhead off the Yellowhead Highway. The route climbs steadily to the summit, where hikers are treated to sweeping vistas of surrounding peaks, forested slopes, and the winding river below. The moderately trafficked trail is used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding, giving visitors a quiet, scenic outing. Leashed dogs are permitted, making it a memorable adventure for both people and their four-legged companions.
