Eva and Jade Lakes
There are two designated summer backcountry campgrounds in the park at Eva Lake and Jade Lakes. Each area has four tent pads - 2 of which can be reserved, a privy, and bear-proof food storage lockers. The trailhead is located at the summit of the Meadows in the Sky Parkway, and winds six to nine kilometres through rolling subalpine terrain and treeless alpine tundra to reach high elevation lakes.
