Maligne Lake
Forty minutes southeast of Jasper, you'll find the world's second-largest glacier-fed lake. It's also one of the Rockies' most visited spots, thanks to its deep blue hue and the beauty of the mountains that surround it.
The Maligne Canyon section of Trail 7 provides the best views of Jasper's famous limestone gorge. Cross the suspension bridge over the Maligne River and keep right at all intersections as you work your way up the canyon, gaining 100 m. (You can start at the top and walk down the canyon trail, but the views are better if you're facing up-canyon.) Water gushes from springs along the way; interpretive signs explain how Maligne Canyon is connected to Medicine Lake, 15 km away, by a cave system.
Keep right at Second Bridge, leaving Trail 7 to follow the short un-numbered interpretive path past the spectacular waterfall at the head of the canyon to the main parking l

My husband and I took a trip ,starting in Virginia, in 2007. It was spectacular! I had never been west of Ohio and I never dreamed the glaciers where so beautiful. First we went to Calgary, Stampede week,then we headed west towards the Rockies. What an eye opener! I'm used to mountains like the Appalachians.WOW! Our favorite word thru this whole vacation was"awesome".We drove the Icefield Parkway,stayed at Whistler campground,went to Jasper N.P. and Maligne Lake then headed south. This trip was truly awesome!
