Morro Peak Scramble Trail Description
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.
