In Jasper National Park, west of the town of Jasper on highway 16
at a rest area. At the parking area (suitable for cars, RV’s or
transport trucks) you will find a nice spot for a picnic with
bear-proof garbage container and toilet facilities here.
The Miette River begins just east of the Great Divide, and meanders
through the Yellowhead pass to empty into the Athabasca River near
the community of Jasper. The name “Miette” is historically
attributed to a hunter named Miette who climbed Roche Miette from
the south side. Miette Hot Springs is named for the same person.
Another suggestion is that the name comes from the Cree word for
mountain sheep (myatick), or the French word miette (crumb)
pertaining to the nature of the rock. There's a centennial pin for
FTF. In accordance with National Park guidelines for geocaching, no
trading items are to be placed in this cache. This cache was
pre-approved by Parks Canada on October 30, 2007.
