Highlights: Beloved, lesser-known full-day hike up to a beautiful mountain pass; Verdant Pass is one of the most challenging hiking trails in Jasper, but also one of the most rewarding, with a trail that winds through alpine meadows and up to a jaw-dropping mountain pass. This is a world class hike that ranks in the top 10 in Canada – at least in my experience. The Sulphur Skyline trail starts roughly 40 km northeast of Jasper townsite, past the Pocahontas Bungalows, next to the Miette Hot Springs. Over 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) of the trail is above the treeline, which makes it one of the more scenic hikes too. The Skyline Trail is home to woodland caribou, grizzly bears and grey wolves. Join the trailpeak community. A one day hike of the skyline trail is a challenge and should really only be attempted by extreme athletes and people with a great bit of outdoor sense.
