Maligne Canyon
Jasper, Canada
Maligne Canyon is a striking limestone gorge in Jasper National Park, formed by glacial meltwater carving its way through the earth over thousands of years. Measuring over 50 metres deep in some sections, it showcases dramatic waterfalls and unique rock formations along its trails, making it a key highlight of the Canadian Rockies.
The best time to visit is during the summer months when the trails are accessible and the waterfalls are flowing robustly. A network of walking paths allows for various viewpoints, with the Upper Falls being a focal point. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife that frequents the area, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.
