RE: Jasper National Park: The end of an era at Maligne Lake

in Worldmappin4 years ago

We just went on a short 1 hour hike, was pondering going for a boat tour, but the weather was only mediocre so decided not to. Was with my son and he wasn't much into hiking that day, so it was more or less a quick out and back.

For sure, the boat tour is expensive enough that you want to do it on a clear day. I went once and it was smoky, not as good pictures as I had hoped but still got nice photos out of the deal because it was just starting to roll in. A few hours later, you couldn't see anything anymore in the distance. I tend to get lucky like that, right place at the right time.

One hour hikes are cool too, even if you just sit next to the lake for an hour, it's amazing. There is a lot of deer and moose there. I don't always go on long hikes every time. Not every day has to be a hiking day, it gets rough. hope you have the chance to return and dedicate more time to the entire area, the canyon too. The whole road is full of hidden trails all the way to the lake. I can spend quite a few days on that road alone in the summer and see something new everyday for a week.
