Maligne Canyon http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/ab/jasper/activ/explore-interets/canyon-Maligne.aspx is one of my favourite places in the world and a trip through the mountains without stopping there would have been incomplete. This is just a few of the shots...I took about 150 pics on that hike and these are in my opinion the best...After finishing my 5k in Hinton I quickly packed up and hit the road...first stop a stretch break walking Maligne Canyon...
Just imagine the sound of rushing water, the air is cool but not cold, there is no wind and the sun is shining...perfect day for a hike...
The blue glacial water has cut its way down through the rocks leaving striations, and bored out part where the water rushes past
I was only planning on hiking from the top down to the 2nd bridge but ended up going all the way down to just before 5th bridge which was actually closed. Not sure why it was closed...heard a rumour of bears...but wasn't going to go and find out for my self.
The falls at 2nd bridge...couldn't stop here - the day was to nice...
Even just looking at this now...such a feeling of serenity...Amazing how a place can impact you so much...
Deep breath of the cool, mountain air...
