This guided sightseeing tour takes you through 45 kilometers of the most spectacular scenery in the Canadian Rockies. The Maligne Valley in Jasper National Park is home to abundant wildlife, diverse flora, and unique geological features. Travelling through rich wildlife habitat, your guide shares the history, ecology, and natural wonders of the area. Although the waterfalls are closed due to the 2024 wildfire, we’ll stop at Maligne Canyon Overlook, where your guide explains the fire’s ecological effects and the landscape’s natural recovery. Continuing deeper into Maligne Valley, we stop at Medicine Lake, where dramatic limestone cliffs rise above the shoreline. During a short walk, you’ll learn about the lake’s geology and have excellent photo opportunities. From Medicine Lake, we travel through sub-alpine forests, prime habitat for moose, bears, and other wildlife. Sightings are common but not guaranteed. At world-famous Maligne Lake, enjoy a guided 2–3 km lakeshore hike, taking in glacial-blue waters, mountain vistas, and forested surroundings. After the hike, enjoy a packed lunch you bring or purchase from the Maligne Lakehouse Café (additional cost) before returning to Jasper.

Additional Info

  • Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Important Note regarding Maligne Canyon Waterfalls: Due to damage caused by last summer’s wildfire, access to Maligne Canyon is currently closed by Parks Canada for infrastructure repairs to ensure visitor safety. If these repairs are not completed prior to your selected tour date, the short walk to view waterfalls in Maligne Canyon will not be possible. In this case, the tour will proceed with a slightly altered itinerary, offering alternative stops to showcase the area’s unique beauty. This includes a visit to Maligne Lookout, where you can view the dramatically changed landscape from a high vantage point, and additional time at Medicine Lake, featuring a short walk along the shore for stunning perspectives of the lake surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. Please rest assured that the tour length and price remain unchanged, and the overall experience will still provide incredible opportunities to explore and learn about the Maligne Valley’s natural wonders.
