Maligne Canyon, Jasper, Canada You’ll stop first at Maligne Canyon where a short walk takes you across two bridges over a 165 foot (50m) deep gorge that has been carved into the limestone. Catch great views of the waterfalls spilling into the canyon below as you explore the area with your guide, who will share information about the geology and wildlife in the area. 30 minutes
Medicine Lake, Canada After checking out Maligne Canyon, you’ll continue to drive to Medicine Lake, taking a gorgeous road that winds through a dramatic mountain and forest landscape. Medicine Lake is famous for ‘vanishing’ every summer, the result of an extensive underground karst system — one of the largest in the world. 20 minutes
Maligne Lake, Canada From Medicine Lake you’ll follow the road to gorgeous Maligne Lake where you’ll have a choice of a boat cruise to Spirit Island or a 2-mile (3.2km) guided hike on an easy and level trail.
If you choose the hiking option, you’ll follow your guide on the Mary Schaffer Loop trail, which skirts the shore of Maligne Lake to a beautiful viewpoint with interpretive displays and benches before continuing into the trees and back to your starting point.
180 minutes
Spirit Island, Canada If you choose to take the boat cruise, you’ll board a comfortable enclosed boat with large windows for a scenic tour on Maligne Lake. Your boat will stop at Spirit Island, a small gem in the lake, where you’ll have time for photos and a short stroll.
**Please note this is NOT included for guests who choose the WALK option**
Throughout the day, your guide will explain the natural and human history of the area and will keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife that lives here. Sightings may include bear, deer, caribou, wolves, moose, bighorn sheep, bald eagles and osprey, among the many animals of Jasper National Park.

We spent six days in Jasper. We planned for three days here, then were to travel to Saskatoon by train and spend three days. A train derailment caused us to stay in Jasper a bit more and then travel through Saskatoon on to Toronto. the folks in Jasper were nice and the three extra days here allowed us to see and do more. The train trip was good, also.

We were hoping to see wildlife and we saw it—elk (practically unavoidable around Jasper), bighorn sheep, coyote, bald eagle, and a moose (apparently an infrequent opportunity). It wasn’t a cold day (by Jasper winter standards), but we appreciated the warmth of the bus. There weren’t that many people on the tour, so everyone got a window seat—and, notably, the climate control was right to keep the windows clear without the temperature being uncomfortable.
The guide/driver was a local, which added to the Canadian flavour of the experience, very knowledgeable about the area and its natural history, and highly adept at spotting animals.

It was supposed to be a boat cruise. Nowhere did it say after Thanksgiving it was a hiking tour. It was still listed on the calendar as a boat cruise. Very disappointed.
