Description:
|
In its efforts to reach the Athabasca River, the Maligne River cut its way through the limestone terrain, carving out this steep, beautiful canyon. The level of the river changes due to underground caves which pull water away from it, but it has passed this way for more than 10,000 years. To give visitors perspective, a trail leads down along the canyon, crossing over it six times and offering incredible views of the landscape. Plaques along the way describe the area's geology, and a small building set at the upper portion of the canyon serves refreshments. During the winter, a hike to see the surreal beauty of frozen waterfalls is offered. Less than 10 minutes from town. |
