The canyon is mainly visible on the various bridges that span it along the trail. You can go for a short or long hike, and all of it is very pretty. A must if you are in Jasper. more

Our family stayed 2 days in Jasper and hiking around the Maligne Canyon was our highlight. Had we known, we would have avoided going all the way to Maligne Lake (which we thought was overrated). If you want our advice, spend more time at Maligne Canyon. We started our hike from the parking lot and descended all the way to... more

We parked at the fifth bridge which is much quieter than the first (where bus tours drop off their passengers). Walk up to the first bridge - trail is steep in places but well maintained and with steps in the trickiest spots. Amazingly deep and narrow gorge with two spectacular falls on the upper section. If you fancy an easier... more

The rock formations are unique and have their own form of beauty. The hike trails are quite nice too. There are some waterfalls too. BRING your Camera! more

Beautiful canyon and nice hike. Suggest taking it from bridge 5, although it doesn't matter all that much since you'll probably just backtrack to get back to your car. Might want to choose between this and Johnston Canyon if you'll also be in Banff and don't have a lot of time. I might pick this one since the canyon itself... more

Great hike! We started at the fifth bridge -- it has a smaller parking lot, but we were the first ones there at 9am. Starting here and going upriver gives you the best part of the canyon and allows the downhill return (when you might begin to tire) along a backwoods route (7h) away from the crowds turning an 'out-and-back'... more

My trip with my dad to Maligne Canyon was beautiful. We hiked for hours, on winding paths and bridges over the choppy water. Many water falls and wildlife to see, you'll never want to head back! There was a helpfull woman who works there walking up and down the trails for any of your questions, the things she told us... more
