We arrived in Jasper on friday night & were welcomed with a BBQ with the local rotarians which included quality Alberta beef and quality Canadian beer & wine. A few of the club members recommended we go on the boat crusie on Lake Maligne, which had only opened a few days earlier after a very long winter. Emma, Mark, Kel & myself (Tim) braved the cold and boarded the 1:00pm cruise to Spirit Island. Lake Maligne is completely fed by the surrounding glaciers & has a current water temperature of 3 degrees, obviously we didn't pack our swimmers for this trip. The Lake has some of the most stunning scenery in Canada & we were all glad we took the trip. A big thanks to Bryan for taking the time out of his day to transfer us to the lake & for patiently waiting for us.
After our lake cruise we were dropped at the Maligne Canyon walking track. The canyon consists of huge limestone walls up to 50 metres deep in some spots with a deafening roar of white water. There was still some solid ice present in some parts of the canyon. We hiked for about an hour stopping a regular intervals to take many photos. Hopefully the photos below do it some justice.
