The Maligne Valley (south-east of Jasper)

A day trip along the Maligne Valley lead us to Lake Maligne. We did the tourist thing and went on a boat ride part way along the lake.

Spirit Island in Lake Maligne

South end of the Lake where you can only visit by pedel power. There is a campgound - but a 14 mile canoe trip each way was a bit too far to take the motorhome.

The road along the Maligne Valley shows how the rocks have been forced almost vertically out of the ground along the continental divide. These rocks were originally the seabed and horizontal.

The Maligne Canyon contains a series of falls over about 5 miles. In places the canyon is a little as a couple of feet wide at the top and 150ft deep.
