Route Description for Morro Peak Scramble
The Morro Peak trail starts at the Overlander trailhead near the Snaring River in Jasper National Park. Start at the official trailhead with the Parks Canada kiosk and trail sign. Follow the dirt trail until you see a small sign pointing towards Morro Peak. This is a wooden sign nailed to a tree.
You’ll see your objective from an opening and have a good idea of where you are headed. Climb up along the ridge and make your way to the south side of the summit. The trail is straight-forward and easy to follow, so you won’t have to worry about technical route-finding.
Getting to the Morro Peak Scramble Trailhead
To get to Morro Peak from the Town of Jasper, drive northbound on Connaught Drive and turn left onto AB-16. Stay on the 16 Highway for 18.0 km and turn right after crossing the Snaring River. The trail begins here.
