The Jonas Pass - Brazeau Lake Loop is one of Jasper National Park’s premier backpacking trips. The Loop features three incredible passes, including the second highest trail pass in the park, a number of impressive glaciers, the headwaters of the Brazeau River and the vast alpine meadows
that drape this remote area.

The Loop follows ancient trails that were once used by indigenous peoples and later by trappers and mountain men. Wildlife viewing opportunities are abundant as the area is home to caribou, grizzly bear, elk, moose, wolves, various birds of prey and other mountain wildlife.
