The Palisades Stewardship Education Centre is 48 km from HI Athabasca Falls. This is a back-to-basics wilderness hostel - We now have 2 private rooms, 2 mixed dorms, no showers, and no flush toilets. That said, it's a great place. A large common lodge with fireplace and lounge, friendly and personable staff, and a great location. We have purified drinking water, full cooking facilities, refrigerator, stoves and electricity. HI Athabasca is well-suited for groups. It is the largest of the four wilderness hostels in Jasper National Park. Located next to the powerful Athabasca Falls, awesome views, spectacular hiking and a wonderful off-the-beaten path experience. The Fryatt Valley and Athabasca Pass are easily accessed from the hostel offering cross-country skiing, hiking and mountain biking opportunities. Horseshoe and Leech Lake are also nearby for excellent swimming.

    Fully decked out kitchen with tea and coffee and spices to be able to use that is open all hours. A bonfire was lit in the evening so we sat and socialized. Huge social area with board games and very cosey atmosphere. There was also a payphone...

    Great place to stay for one night, close to the Athabasca Falls and on Icefields Parkway. There was everything we needed, even for cooking and it was clean. There are no showers there but that was fine for one day.
