Wilcox Pass Details
The trail to the ridge of Wilcox Pass has been used for at least 100 years. One hundred years ago, northbound outfitters used the trail that leads to the ridge of Wilcox Pass. Walking in their footsteps, you'll witness sights not unlike those they saw a century ago: panoramic views over the valley below, icefields and surrounding mountain peaks. The trailhead for this moderate 90-minute hike is found within the Wilcox Creek Campground, just three kilometers (2 miles) south of the Icefield Centre.
