Maligne Valley Wildlife and Waterfalls Tour

This new, half day experience will depart from Jasper twice daily and explore a section of Jasper National Park known for it's 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.
