If you're looking for a short but stunning hike in Jasper National Park, then the Edge of the World Trail needs to be on your list. This short one-kilometer out-and-back runs along the side of an elevated ridge and along the top of a series of cliffs below Marmot Peak, located just off Marmot Road. From the so-called "edge of the world," you'll enjoy expansive views of the valley below and the Canadian Rockies in the distance.

Description

Take care when parking for this hike, as there is no official parking space or pullout for the trail. However, parking along the road may be possible, as long as there is enough space so that you don't block the road. Be cautious of traffic in the area when walking to reach the trail.
