Wonderful walk (almost) to a high alpine meadow.
Edith Cavell was a heroine of World War I. She was a British Nurse serving in Brussels in 1914. When she refused to leave her patients she was executed. Canada Parliament has honored her by naming one of the most magnificent peaks in the Canadian Rockies for her.
If you come to this area then this is the hike to take. It is a gradual climb up through forest land with a view of the glacier at the base of Mount Edith Cavell. The climb up to the meadows takes about three hours. Sandy got tired just a little before the path leveled out some and I went on for about another 40 minutes. The meadow was only a little further when I turned around to rejoin Sandy. Our day was lovely and perfect for photos. We saw some new (to us) flowers and a Hoary Marmot, too.
