One of the most spectacular gorges in the Canadian Rockies, sheers limestone walls plunge to depths of over 50 metres(165 ft.). An interpretive trail winds its way from the picnic area across six bridges where you can catch the spray from the thundering Maligne River, or peer into the mossy detphs. Nearby, between the Fifth and Sixth bridges, are the Rock Gardens and the Boulder Gardens, Jasper's foremost climbing areas. In the winter, try your hand at a guided Canyon Tour across the floor of the frozen canyon. This is a sight you'll not want to miss ! The TeaHouse is open from March to early November.
Winter is a great time of year to check out the Canyon. Take a Ice Walk tour with the local outfits listed below. The links takes you straight to their websites and you can contact them from there. Try out the walk at night, as I find that most interesting. Walking on a frozen shelf of ice makes an interesting adventure.
Summer has a different charm to Maligne Canyon, although you cannot get right into the canyon itself, unless you are a Kayaker. You can however walk along the the Canyon from above to view the beautiful water falls and gorges.
