This is one of Jasper's most spectacular landmarks. Eroded by the fast-flowing Maligne River for thousands of years, it is only one meter (three feet) across in some places, but over 60 meters (200 feet) deep. There is a self-guided interpretive trail with several bridges, which follows the canyon as it courses towards the Athabasca River. It becomes a fantasyland of ice in the winter when small streams freeze into huge twisted icicles. Make sure you stay within the guard rails. The rocks near the edge are slippery, so be cautious while you're enjoying the splendid scenery.
