The Sulphur Skyline Hike..
This great Jasper hike will start following the pavement uphill. Turn off left near the water storage tank. Hike straight on the trail ahead from here. At about half a kilometer, a horse trail will join from the left. Now you will ascend sharply to Shuey Pass, where the hiking trail now divides. Turn right towards the Sulphur Skyline or "Sulphur Ridge". Go back up steeply to where the hiking trail crests the ridge and continues steeply up to the barren slopes of the Sulpher Skyline summit. Enjoy the views!
Miette Hot Springs, the hottest in the Canadian Rockies, are very close to the Sulphur Skyline hike. It's a favorite spot to soothe oneself after completing this stiff climb.
The road to this Hike is closed during the winter. Miette Road usually opens in May.Sulpher Skyline Hike Satellite View
