HI Beauty Creek

Come unplug and unwind at HI-Beauty Creek!

We have limited internet here and that's the way we like it. We'd much rather see our guests interact with each other while enjoying outdoor activities, board games, hammock-swinging, stargazing, and campfires. We like to think of ourselves as Summer Camp for adults (although children are of course still welcome!)

We're situated right alongside the Sunwapta River and our location offers amazing views of Mt. Kitchener and Tangle Ridge on one side and the sun sets daily with a spectacular view of the Never-Ending-Ridge looking North towards Jasper.

Jasper National Park was recently named the World's Largest Accessible Dark Sky Preserve and HI-Beauty Creek is the closest HI hostel to the darkest part of the National Park. You'll be able to savour true silence, night skies bursting with stars and the knowledge that some of the world's most magnificent landscapes are, really, right outside our door.

We are situated just one km from the stunning Beauty Creek/Stanley Falls hike, and the world-famous Athabasca Glacier/Columbia Ice-field Centre are a mere 15-minute drive south of the hostel. Two more of the most renowned hikes in the Rockies, Wilcox Pass and Parker Ridge, are both less than 30 km away from the hostel.

While we have limited electricity (no plugs in the sleeping cabins, no block heaters/electric car charging), we do have a fully stocked kitchen with propane lighting, BBQ, stove-tops, heaters and a fridge.

Come on down to Beauty Creek for a truly rustic and beautiful Canadian experience!

A word on HI-Wilderness Hostels

Get back to nature with HI's network of wilderness hostels. They're a varied bunch! Most have solar-powered lights, some have rustic wood-burning saunas, at some you'll get electricity, and at others you'll get to pump your own water. But whatever you're after, these hostels with their simple comforts immerse you in the natural splendour of the Rockies.

You'll be able to savour true silence, night skies bursting with stars and the knowledge that some of the world's most magnificent outdoors are, really, just out the door. Dotted along the Icefields Parkway and throughout the Parks, these hostels are set into pockets of trees, alongside creeks, or at the base of thousand-foot-high rock faces. Whether you get there by car, bike or on foot, your efforts are rewarded with some of the finer, simpler things in life - a warm fire, cozy lounges, and the chance to share food with new friends while you relive the day's adventures.

HI Beauty Creek Wilderness Hostel is part of HI Canada, a not-for-profit organization on a mission to build a community of conscious travellers who share a greater understanding of people, places and cultures.
