Reverse Course

All photos taken on September 20, 2025.

Today was Saturday and we had no desire to be in with the crowds in Jasper town or on the more popular trails. As such, we were going to mostly stay put on the nearby trails and drive sparingly. The hikes from our first day came to mind, so we set off to Pyramid Beach to walk Hochimini Trail in reverse.

Here is our driving route…

…and here is our walking route shown with purple arrows. We hiked 4.8 km (3 miles) and 135 m (442 feet) of elevation gain/loss.

No need to provide much prose as you have seen this walk from the other direction, so I will just give captions to the galleries.
