A Bouldering Journey Backpacking the Entire Geraldine Lakes Valley in Jasper National Park

Follow us on a 3-day journey as we backpack the entirety of the Geraldine Lakes Valley. This gorgeous area is located in Jasper National Park which you'll find the trail head at the end of the Geraldine Lakes road. Geraldine Road is a seasonal access road that is open from mid-June to late September. This is a rough gravel road. High-clearance vehicles are recommended. No trailers or RVs are permitted. Check 511.alberta.ca to confirm if the road is open.

This is a strenuous but rewarding backpacking trip. The gentle, forested hike to first Geraldine Lake is 1.8 km. After climbing steeply at the end of the first lake, the trail travels across a large boulder field marked with a series of cairns. At km 4.2 is an impressive waterfall and a steep headwall. The trail from the top of the headwall continues to a rocky ridge and across several more boulder fields along the second lake. The campground is located at the far end of the second lake, across a small creek.
This is where we spent the night at the head of the beautiful Second Geraldine Lake where all campsites basically havean amazing lakeview. With experience of the area we continue to explore the upper valley and its lakes beyond the campground. There are no official, signed trails beyond the campground. Route finding skills are required but the rewards are well worth it. So much so that once we hit the treeline and seen the amazing Mount Fryatt with all its ridges & glaciers, we kept hiking for several hours in the rain just to record these amazing views for our viewers.

A few notes about this hike:
• This trail can be challenging for children and dogs.
• Boulders become very slippery in wet conditions.
• Navigating through boulder fields can be difficult with a large pack.
• There is a two-night maximum stay at this campground.
• The campground can flood with snow melt during early season.
