Last day in Jasper :( Part 2

So after I had lunch I made my way to Maligne Canyon which was incredible! It’s the deepest Canyon in Jasper National Park! I hiked the 4km trail there, with lots of very steep inclines. I then made my way to Maligne lake. I didn’t take the boat tour but you do get a sense for how big the lake is. Unfortunately because it was so cloudy, you didn’t get to appreciate the beautiful colours of the water here. On my way back, there was a moose eating at the side of the road. Earlier in the day there was a bear jam on the road from Sunwapta falls to Valley of the Five Lakes and I kid you not, people were running across the road to see the black bear!! I looked in my rear view mirror and saw it crossing the road. It looked much bigger than the one I’d seen before.

Animal count; moose - 3, black bears - 2, elk - lost count, marmot - 1, bighorn sheep - 3, mountain goats - 2, squirrels - too many!Read more
