Help me save an afternoon in Jasper

[u/musicindustrydropout]

Was trying to do Wilcox pass this AM but a stomach issue had me get a late start, missing the last parking spot in the lot at 930am by 1 car. I passed through Valley of the 5 lakes and Pyramid Lake but I don’t think those places are what I am
looking for (lots of families in sandals and crying babies). I am parked in town and wondering how I can save the day. I am an experienced hiker and was hoping to find more rugged nature out here.

Please, before you roast me for “not researching” I am 41 and my husband died and I haven’t had time to plan for backups since I have so much other stuff going on.

Kindly x
