Hiking Maligne Canyon -
The Maligne River flows in and then disappears!

This is a magical place!

A One Kilometer Hike. Take the easy and shorter canyon loop and see steep canyons where the walls are eroding 1 inch every 5 years, a dramatic waterfall and the teahouse. Examine the rock here and see fossilized remains of Sea Creatures. This terrain was once very much underwater!

The three Kilometer Hike. Visit the upper and lower canyon and see the waterfalls, teahouse area, six bridges, ever-deepening canyon and the flow point of an underground river from Medicine Lake.  Medicine Lake (called "bad medicine" by early natives) can actually disappear entirely into the underground caverns and cave networks that drain the lake. Be sure to note how the stream at the beginning of the canyon becomes a river by the end of the walk. It is fed by spring water from underneath!!
