Our family of 5 (children aged 8, 12, 14) went on a Sundog tour of Maligne Canyon in December. The whole experience was fantastic. We were picked up from our hotel (Fairmont) and after being fitted for water-proof boots, were driven to the canyon. With a small group of 8 we never felt time pressured. Our guide gave us ice-cleats... More

Poor sandwiches and coffee but beautiful views. Cant understand why they cannot provide fresher and more varied menu. Gift shop was very pricey as well. More

The canyon has to be seen to be believed. It is an easy drive from the Jasper townsite. Even a short walk along the canyon will leave you amazed. The narrowness and depth of the canyon are both mind-boggling. More

This is a very beautiful walk. If you feel like something easy you can go as far as the second or third bridge. If you feel like a bit more of a small hike go to the next bridge. After that there is a lot more hiking if you feel more energetic. More

Shockingly beautiful place. Take the full hike down to the 5th bridge, but be prepared with proper footware. Could be tricky in wet weather. More

Hi, we took the long walk. Please remember that this is not a round trip loop like the short loop. It took 1 hour down and 1 hour back. We did not read the sign too well to know it was a one way trip. You end up at 6th bridge. If you start at 6th bridge you can go... More
