MALIGNE
VALLEY WILDLIFE AND WATERFALLS TOUR
This half day experience will depart
from Jasper twice daily and explore a section of Jasper
National Park, known for its’ abundant wildlife. Our naturalist
guides will highlight the unique features of the valley
while passengers watch for bear, moose, elk, wolves, big
horn sheep, eagles and even the odd marmot! A stop at
Maligne Canyon features a short walk around the upper
reaches, offering spectacular views of waterfalls & hidden
fossils, viewed from the footbridges spanning the deepest
sections of the gorge. This leisurely walk allows plenty
of time for photos and nature interpretation. Continuing
up the Valley we arrive at the ‘disappearing’ Medicine
Lake, with the amazing geology that has created the Karst
Topographical phenomenon, causing the lake to completely
drain every year.
Our final destination and the highlight of the tour, world
famous Maligne Lake
features a 90 minute cruise to Spirit
Island, known as the icon of the Canadian Rockies!
Passengers have the choice of joining the cruise or accompanying
our guide on an easy 3.2 km lakeside hike. Time is allotted
for passengers to purchase lunch or snacks at the View
Restaurant, which offers a wide array of homemade soups,
stews, chili, sandwiches, salads and a variety of baked
goods and beverages.
