Reviews of Maligne Canyon (Bank)

Mark Prospero

The canyon is stunning but can get very busy

Amaninder Singh

Absolutely gem of a place to be at. So calm and relaxing place nourishes the mind body and soul. Great views throughout the walk. It is a long walk if you want to cover the whole canyon. The tracks are very clearly marked just make sure you carry the map, that helps tremendously to decide and discover the path.

Richard Clemens

Spectacular views! If you have mobility problems you may require some assistance to walk the entire trail. Trail is well kept. Will go back again.

Chelsea Bombay

Very exciting place to visit. The trail has a medium difficulty. I'm a bit heavier so had to stop 3 4 times on return lol. Liking forward to visit the canyon in summers too.

Shakeel Qureshi

It was my first time to visit such a beautiful canyon, i would surely go back during winter ❄️

Mariola K

Great place to hike and check out this amazing formation!

Mike M

Very nice experience. The return path is through woods and very steep. Better come back same way instead of loop

Robert F.

Amazing experience. Beware the last and sixth bridge. Almost 2 kilometres from bridge 5. And alot of muddy wetness too. Went at 10 am on a Tues. and almost no one there yet. Bring water, snacks, and off. Steady game. Great time with my family of four.

Jill Greenlees

Maligne Canyon, along with Athabasca Falls, is an absolute must-see for those who have never been to Jasper and love various types of waterfalls to go along with their descending/ascending hike in this breathtaking area! It is truly awesome to see and hear the roaring waterfalls as they descend down. There are endless photo opportunities for nature lovers here! One tip: make sure that you are wearing footwear with a good grip since some of the rocks get get a bit slick when you walk on them.

Travis

It's amazing what a few hundred years of water flow can do. If you have little ones, this is the perfect short hike for them. You can see bridges 1 and 2 in a short 20 minute hike that takes you around and back to the parking lot. For more adventurous hikers, you can visit all 6 bridges. Maligne Canyon is a short drive from Jasper and definitely a recommended destination for all. There is also a tea house by the parking lot for anyone needing a break.

Nate Sullivan

So beautiful! Did the loop. Followed the trail to 6th Bridge then took the trail 7H back to the beginning parking lot. Really nice trail, beautiful views, steep beginning of 7H trail but worth it.

saptarshi mallick

You can easily do bridge 1 to 4 within an hour with time for pictures. The hike was easy as well. Really enjoyed our time here. Glad we didnt skip it.

R Felipe

By chance I could not get up to Maligne lake due to snowfall and discovered on way back down the Canyon lookout. Excellent trails short and long to spend the morning away.

Yura Bondarenco

Totally worth it. Very long trail and a tough one. Don't try to go with babies or stroller. 6 view points see as many as you like.

Js Boutin

Probably one of the best wonders of Jasper. Has a beautiful view with a steep trek. You should spare 3 to 4 hours for complete trek and view points in total.

Waleed Ahmad

Chateau was closed for ice walk tours only on NYE. Only a frozen outdoor washroom was available. The first bridge over the canyon had about a foot or more of overpack snow leaving barely any railing left so be careful.

Peter Kerk-Avezaath

Awesome hike through here. Fairly quick and great views from all the bridges. I recommend going early to beat the rush.

Bella Cons

I only got down to bridge 3 before my group decided to turn back. Incredible place to visit.

Joey Simon

Very nice hike and canyon. Take a short trail or long one. Be prepared.. return is all up hill! 4 stars only because the trail signage was poor. It's a beautiful place!

Magdoxi Medina

Beautiful nature and the water what it had done to the landscape

Brandon Zoras

Great place to visit In Jasper. In early April there was still a lot of ice. Crampons are recommended. Beautiful scenery.

Kennedy Paramor

Arrived in the afternoon and it wasn't very crowded. Did up to the fourth bridge and learned a lot about the formation of the canyon. The indication wasn't super clear but the first bridge starts off next to the restaurant.

Samira G

The canyon is impressive. Walkway is wet and can be slippy in areas - especially as it is uneven in parts. Beautiful to see the canyon. The teahouse/restaurant is excellent. We had a delicious breakfast.

Alice AbiRaad

This is another place with an amazing natural beauty. The most important thing in the trail to the bridges was the hand-rail to hold on. This was missing in most of the other trails where we went. We went to the first, second and a little bit of the third bridge and it was beautiful. Even though the water was frozen we had a good time overall. Me and wife enjoyed it this time and we will definitely come back in the Summer. I recommend people to were spikes and shoe chains during winter.

Mark Anthony Catacutan

A must see on a visit to Jasper. Amazing canyon with great views as you hike down.

Hugo Lopez

This place is just Wow! Looking at how the walls and spaces are carved up with water is just incredible. Bit of a walk but definitely worth it. Kids friendly hike and a lot of traffic though. Coming back is of course an uphill task ????

Denys Tsybka

Great views. A need to see place.

Adriane Jimenez

Unreal!! We went all the way to bridge 5 then took the 7H trail back up the face of the mountain. It was difficult but our kids killed it!!!!!

Banish Angural

Beautiful! Maligne Canyon was amazing! Spirit Island is a spiritual moment upon arrival. What a history it is has for Canada's Indigenous peoples, one to be respected. Absolutely beautiful and a great history lesson in regards to the sacred land and spiritual meaning for them dated back 8000 years.

Catalin T

Descent trail for family. A little bit crowded when I visited but I guess it's safer not to see wildlife here. Bunch of people and the noise scares some wildlife

Justine Mae

Maligne canyon is a great for a family hike. From the parking lot it's all downhill so on the way back it's all uphill which some would find difficult I'm sure. There a lot of different viewpoints to stop and see and the waterfall down the canyon is beautiful. It can be busy so during a pandemic it could be hard to socially distance going down the trails. It's great though so no complaints.

D Tam

Beautiful little hike ! Nice and easy walk or you can go further if you want! super worth checking out.

Nathan Kezar

If you love a hearty hike with a view, you should visit the place. The hike is under a thick canopy of trees with atmosphere filled with rushing sound of water flowing through the Malign Canyon on the side. The canyon ranges from very deep to shallow at places and the hike provides plenty of viewpoints scattered across the course. More adventurous can take the not so lengthy but pretty steep hill hike on the way back from bridge 5

jANsON Potato.

We were there on Dec. 28. This is a great place to explore in the winter when you can walk up the center/bottom of the canyon. Almost like being in a cave in a few places. You will need spikes if you plan to go in the center of the canyon, probably a good idea even on top as there are some slippery places. Is also a great place to visit in the summer.

Tahir Mahmood

A peaceful hike with lots of nature and water falls, rapids along the way. Do recommend this hike to all. Parking is limited there. Go there early to spend the day there and be one with the nature.

Joey Dueck

Nice hike in the late fall with lots of colors. Creek just starting to freeze, which also meant the pathway was getting a little slick in areas from freezing mist. Would love to hike in the canyon when it is frozen.

Mano Jayasekera

Amazing narrow canyon gouged out by the Athabasca river over the millennia. Useful descriptive narratives line the trail. Most of the trail from the 5th bridge is not overly challenging.

Tricia Small

Great view from any angle that comes with challenging trail. ????

Suba Kalia

Must visit on your trip to Jasper. The scenery and terrain keeps changing , constantly getting better and surprising you as you make your way through the trail. Loved every bit of it !

Scarlett Kim

Beautiful scenery. It would be a bit scary if you were afraid of heights. Path is in good shape and was not muddy. Was low traffic when we went so was able to walk comfortably with the dog without a lot of people crowding.

Ayaz Mohammed

In my time I have seen Many to alot of Canyons on multiple continents, however I have to say they Maligne Canyon is unique as it is extremely narrow and deep. You are greeted with many different types of water flow and rock formations as you progress down the canyon Criss crossing it over strategicly placed bridges. I will be happy to return for another exhilarating visit next time I'm in the park.

Al-Karim Walli

I have been to Maligne Canyon in the summer time and in the winter time. Seeing both seasons really ties the experience together. In the summer time you look at these raging waterfalls from high above but in the winter you get to walk down where those waterfalls are now frozen. The only issue, like any treck, is the people. There's often too many people or there's just disrespectful people. The views are amazing and there are plenty of great spots for pictures, you might have to wait for your turn.

John Hanley

A beautiful site, some learning points for kids and adults. A short gentle easy loop of 1st and 2nd Bridge for those with energy or mobility issues as well as drive up access to 5th and 6th Bridges, so you don't have to miss out if you are concerned about the hike from 1st to 6th and back. Also, there is the option to have some of your party hike down and be met along the way. Many options. Beautiful and well worth the time no matter which option you choose.

Raymond

Great hike. Hiked all the way from the 1st bridge to the 6th bridge. The 6th bridge was 1.8km one way from the 5th, it was pretty quiet. It seemed like more people drove to it. Really enjoyed it all.

Mariana Marchuk

Spectacular views and photos can be taken at many different spots, each spot being different and beautiful. This canyon was quite unique as the views were really accessible and the pathways were well laid out. My children even loved this one.

David Little

Beautiful canyon views the hike is great for people who have little to no hiking experience. Good for kids. Easily hit 5 bridges with any difficulty

Johan Cornelissen

Loved it. Very beautiful and clean. Great for a family day out. Love the different types of trails

Amit Soni

Was very nice peaceful place the food and service was 5 star delicious. One of my favorite places. The service is amazing.

Johnny Planète

Fantastic and easy hike for all family, go in the early morning, cause then it became busy and you wont enjoy the quiet time and the trail will be crowded

Cadyn Stahl

A short easy trail beside the beautiful Maligne canyon and water. For experienced hikers it would be 1 maximum . Kids and pets friendly trail not stroller friendly . Beautiful trail. Has a loop with 6 bridges. There is a car park and a restaurant close by. Can start from either 1st bridge or 5th bridge and follow the loop

Bethany

Really fun walk!

Dustin Baptist

A must visit place if your in town ! Amazing work of nature !

Sagidec Ursidae

Absolutely gorgeous. Easy access even in the winter

Keaton Ambridge

Beautiful hike. Make sure to save some energy for the the way up. Remember 1/2 of mountain climbing is up hill.

Brandon Clark

Beautiful, powerful, and loud. Amazing falls and so close to Jasper! I encourage you to come and check these falls out

Jaskiran Kaur

Very well structured hiking location. The creation of the bridges provided safe sightseeing and informative posters. It is easy to get to and accessible to all levels of physical capability.

Mega Gay

Absolutely gorgeous views of a spectacular mountain canyon. My favorite thing about this hike is that you can customize the length to your ability level. There are multiple loops and turnaround points that allow a natural end to the trail. Be careful after it rains as it can get slick and muddy. Due to the nature of the path, often puddles are unavailable.

IRONMAN

The most beautiful place in Alberta. The hike is fun and the view is just absolutely spectacular! There is nothing more breathtaking than standing right in front of a roaring waterfall. I've been there twice already and can't wait to go again :)

Phil W

Beautiful view and scenery!! The paved part of the trail was great. The unpaved loop, 7h was slightly more difficult.

Alannah Rollinson

It was crazy busy but well worth it! This time we only went as far as 2nd bridge because it is pretty steep and hard on the knees. I love the colours of the rock and the different textures, great for Photography.

Dilendra Wanigasekara

It’s beautiful walk to the canyon. The walkway at this moment is very slippery . Do gear up with appropriate shoes. The canyon is beautiful and river is partially frozen .

Mónica (monichor)

Great place for a hike. I'd suggest to take a trail along the river - it has a lot of scenic views of the canyon.

Secret Guy

If you want walk around a canyon of 55 meters deep with water fleeing inside. Its a great experience. Multiple trails to do also.

Helmer T’naja

Gorgeous hiking trails along canyon paths. I had a great time there. It's a beautiful attraction, and this was much more impressive than we expected, I might be back again if I visit Jasper!

Kimberly BZ

Beautiful places to visit here in Jasper with lots of things to do and offer. Hiking at its finest can be enjoy all seasons looking forward to be back on summer.

Dave Brandman

This is one of the best places to visit all year around. The canyon is easy to reach, hike is easy, but in winter time can be slippery. On the other hand, winter hike allows you to walk on the bottom of the canyon

Bill Wilkinson

Beautiful down in the canyon! There is a few waterfalls and fit for all ages! Me and my partner didnt have spikes but it would Definitely help to have!

Hope P

Gorgeous and easy trail. Heavily traffic and a must see if you’re in Jasper.

Hoggustina Hoop

The trail was almost ghosted...it was awesome doing the ice walk all by myself with no other mankind around in the early morning after sunrise...would definitely recommend for people who doesn't like crowder trails like me...

Justin

A wonderful hiking spot that can accommodate both easy and moderate hiking plans. The canyon and fast flowing water are amazing and can be easily seen with a quick stop, or opt to hike the full loop over an hour. Definitely something to see when in Jasper and not to hard to add to any trip schedule.

Glen Freeman

Nice trail. Nice views.

G C

One of our most favorite spots from our Rockies trip. The canyon is absolutely beautiful and has lots of bridges back and forth. We did the hike to the sixth bridge and it was amazing, lots of different views, and some higher elevation too. Would highly recommend a visit. Come in the morning if you don't want it to be too busy.

Barry Starlighter

Even in the rain, it's an extraordinary view. Would do again. 6 stars. Trails were muddy but it added to the experience which was awesome. This was my first time there and I plan on coming back just to relive the experience all over again.

Susan Hitchcock

Maligne Canyon is out of this world beautiful and natural at its best. One of the best Canyon and falls I have seen so far. There is a tail that is along side the water and number is falls. The trail is not wheelchair accessible. I would highly recommend visiting the Canyon if your in in Jasper as it’s only 10mims drive form Jasper town.

Julie Joseph

Awesome place!!! Really cool and fun to walk, just be careful some spot are slippery. You can also go off the side for a great view of the mountains and other trails.

Adrian Day

It is really beautiful and you can not close your mouth because it's awesome.

Michael Davis

A beautiful and accessible trail. You’ll definitely get some exercise in If you decide to go all the way down to the bottom. I’d recommend going in the morning or late afternoon when the sun begins to set.

m Rafi

I loved the canyon! Went there in winters.

Rick Stasiuk

We were pleasantly surprised about how dramatic the canyon is. The views from the first few bridges are terrific. The walk is slightly steep on the way back but we’ll worth it.

Prageeth Mendis

An easy hike with great views. The best views are closest to the parking lot

Aegis Loghic

Fun hike, well maintained.

Matt Green

Good place if you can walk at least 7km

Pavan Jacob

Spectacular views! We started at the restaurant parking lot and the whole loop to bridge no. 5 and back took us about two hours which was around 4.8 km. From bridge no. 5 to bridge no. 6 was another 1.7 km one way which we didn't take. There's lots of stairs and ups and downs through the trail so maybe not the best if you have little ones. It's amazing how water could carve out through the rocks and make this magnificent canyon. A must see if you visit Jasper.

觀光系黃姸語

Super cool place to walk/hike at. It was raining a little bit on the day we came down here, but still so beautiful. We checked out the first three of the six bridges and it took about an hour (including lots of picture taking). Hike along all six bridges for a longer adventure (2-3 hours).

Anthony Yaseyko

It is an amazing place. Missed this many times in our trips to Jasper..but should be in the must do list for Jasper

Lisa Rudkin

Beautiful hike. Remember to bring proper footwear, either spikes for your shoes or hiking poles because it is very slippery and steep in many places along the path especially in winter. There are paths along both side of the canyon that both offer great views.

Maria N

Awesome!! The hike along the canyon was intriguing - the canyon is so deep! Loved the waterfalls.

Jordan Majeau

Wonderful hike. Beautiful views from top to bottom

Nathan Luu

The sight of the deep canyons was too scary for me, aggravated fear by the flowing waters. But the place was awesome.

Enrique Aliaga

This was a beautiful hike! It was great how the hike it broken up in sections based on the type of hiker you are, would definitely go again

Ranieli Zatta

Beautiful. Breath taking! Love coming here to connect with Nature, God, and each other!

Bang Nguyen

Such an amazing experience. So worth the trip.

Damian Griggs

Jeff was fabulous! (Tour guide) The Jeff who wanted to be a teacher. I know there's 2. Lol not only was he crazy knowledgeable (as expected) but he was very personable. The Canyon itself was gorgeous! Never saw anything so breath taking.

Dani Bray

Beautiful, easy trail with a walkway over the canyon to view it. Amazing view of the canyon .We had this stop included in a tour we had taken and enjoyed lunch in the urban kitchen as well. The stones along the path showed fossilized molluscs (?) And other creatures. We were able to learn about the trees in the area as well. There are various trails in the area and overlooking mountains as well. Beautiful lunch stop!

Vlad S.

Loved this place. The trails are well maintained. Pure magnificence. Wear the proper footwear and be prepared to be mesmerized

YoGaBaGaBa

Awesome hike for all age groups. Really amazing scenic areas along the entire walk

Doug Petry

We found a small trail to hike up and was surprised with such an amazing view! I love visiting Jasper and this spot is a must to go hiking. Take in the scenery with medium level hiking trails and restaurant if you follow the signs.

Amad Khalti

A beautiful walk to go with the family or couples. The views are beautiful, in winter you have to be careful because it is slippery.

Jacob Warrington

Nice trail, beautiful canyon, a little touristic but nice

Jeff Dover

Gorgeous hike with much to see. Not a difficult hike so take your time and enjoy the energy.

Becky Bulmer

Amazing views and experience overall! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're staying in Jasper. We went during the winter and it was super cool to walk around in the canyon.

Keyur Patel (Q)

Maligne Canyon is among the best highly accessible spots around Jasper. Almost all visitors will be able to make the trek from the first to fourth bridges along a path that boasts numerous views of the deep narrow canyon and successive waterfalls. I would avoid the restaurant there, however - much better to pack your own food.

Cole Williams

Its a great hike from Bridge 2-6. Beautiful views and every step. Missed the first bridge, make sure you dont miss it. Its a 3 -3.5 hours trekk , make sure you wear proper shoes and clothes , carry some water.

Bailey Woloshyn

This is a must stop. Parking was a little hard to get when we went around 1 pm on a Saturday but circled a few times and got a spot. The hike down to the different bridges was nice and the stops were amazing views. Getting back up was more challenging but lots of places to stop on the way up. The flowing water was so cool to listen to as well. Great stop along the way to Spirit Island boat cruise.

Sigrid Hohne

Gorgeous blue and clear water, which you get close and touch just behind the restaurant there. You can skip the first few bridges to close to the 6th where the water way gets wider and pettier if you don’t have stamina in my opinion.

Roth Jianping

Beautiful trail. We started from 1st bridge and from 5th bridge complete the loop 7H. As you cross the bridge it gets more and more beautiful.

C Pex

Outstanding experience! Need to be fit to walk along the canyon.

Ron Strauss

I kept playing Lord of the Rings ost in my mind. It was just pure beauty of the nature. Must visit!

Monica Song

Nice, easy hike, saw parents with kids and dogs hiking. The site has 6 main bridges to visit, the 5th and 6th are a little far from the 1st, perfectly walkable though. There's options to start the hike from the 5th, 6th and 2nd bridges (each from different parking lots, all with toilettes and a restaurant at the 2nd bridge parking lot)

Essex The Magnificent

Beautiful view and scenery. It's a good place to visit and has a cool trail too.

Almighty Abb

Great trails and views!

Mike Salter

Awesome to do a walk with the family... not recommended to take stroller, it will be easy if you take a baby carrier, amazing natural place, very good to spend couple of hours or just a short time on the small routes. We did the small and medium route we have 2 little kids and they did the whole way with not problem.

Kandis C

I’m always in awe of Gods incredible creation! The views are stunning! And a great little walk, doable for most with various options to go shorter or longer. Watch your steps on the stairs in winter; would do one good to wear footwear with good grip when there’s ice and snow.

Derek Potts

Great views & fun hike!

Amanda Ellis

Really neat canyon and falls. Bridge 1 over the canyon has the best falls. Sadly, trail was closed to many of the bridges so we didn't get the full experience. NO signs up top about the closure.

Angela Clark

Nice short trail contains several waterfall and canyon views along with maligne river

Annet Poggegordon

What a great hike for the whole family

Aasiya Satia

very very picturesque! Recommended to get there early as it gets super busy as the day goes on.

Esther Y

Stunning example of glacial erosion. Awesome hike.

Chris K

Always gorgeous in summer, but a true fairytale in winter. Love this easy hike!

Ali FA

This place is so beautiful. For this trip we started at the Fifth Bridge and went up. I had never done this route before. It was amazing. There are spots you can get up close and personal with the water. It is breath taking to see. If you haven't gone, you really should. Put it on your list.

Chuiya Meng

Very beautiful here. The waterfalls are quite amazing. We walked from the First Bridge to the Sixth Bridge and also did the Flower Loop. I would recommend going earlier as it got quite busy between the First and Fourth Bridges later in the day.

Myra Liwanag

Absolutely amazing! Must see and walk the trail! Stunning views!! Loved it!

Prince Afrim

Nice trek with amazing waterfall views. Maybe skip the 6th Bridge if you are not looking for a long hike.

Georgina Neave

Great place not far from Jasper town, visited all bridges. Awesome

Tam

Very beautiful trail. Easy to access. Good for all level. The trail is getting very muddy and slippery if it rains.

Prachi Ambre

Beautiful! Stunning! Remarkable! Great place for families. Walking trails aren't long. Highly recommended.

Alain Bouche

100% recommended to anyone going through Jasper. It's very close to town, easy for everyone (even partially wheelchair accessible!), and doesn't take much time. I advise only walking to the first 4 bridges, as the 5th and 6th each have parking lots right next to them that you can just drive to and the trails leading up from the main parking lot are mostly surrounded by dense trees that block the view of the mountains. There is one good lookout point on the path between the main parking lot and the sixth bridge, but it is very close to the parking lot so you can easily go check it out without doing the entire hike to the sixth bridge. Photos can't capture the feeling of the canyon. It's definitely a worthwhile experience.

Lisa Lang

Beautiful hike starting at the top of the canyon with breathtaking views near the bottom

James Watters

Dont go to Jasper without checking this place out!!! Gorgeous!!!????

Khoa Ngo

We love it here, just amazing what water and time can do. Been here at least 10 times and still loving it. Rick Stasiuk, Wetaskiwin Alberta Canada T9A 3R2

Shweta Dhok

This was an excellent trip to do during the winter. If you don't have ice crampons or spikes or you are uncomfortable walking on ice all alone then ask around and get a guide when you go during the winter.

Lee Dube

Beautiful place to visit. Nice hike. Remember to keep water with you while going to full length hike

Jeff Schneider

I love this place. The scenario is breathtaking.

Mapolenka S

Beautiful canyon with kilometers worth of easy hikes and excellent views!

Sandy Koroll

Love this place. Only thing I will warn is be ready to hike a far way. Trail maps are confusing and don't really tell you how far away from getting back to main parking lot. Almost got lost with small children. Luckily we figured out how to get back before dark. Be careful and watch where u go. Easy to get lost . Bring water and food. Trails were well maintained and views of canyon was beautiful. But again they should make trail maps easier to understand and read. Like 1 hour to end. Or 2 hours to end. Or take this trail back to parking lot. Would be a simple way to make it easier for guests to visit.

Taniya Perera

It's a beautiful water canyon. Nobody expects such a breathtaking view there at the first place. The first bridge is the main spot of attraction. The water level is getting lower than the last month (we went in September 2021).

Mihai Harabagiu

Very much enjoyed the hike from the 5th Bridge to the first and back. The hills while a little challenging were not too difficult and the trails are well marked.

Happy Traveler

We visited on late August 2021. I am sure the gorge would be much more memorizing in the spring of the year during higher water levels. We loved it. A beautiful, easy walk. Very scenic.
