Maligne Canyon - the only way. - We had a very small group only 4 people. Our guide Ben had a great depth of knowledge explaining the Geology, Fauna and Flora of the area. With only 4 people we were able to take an our time and get many great pictures. Starting at the top and walking down hill was an absolute bonus, and we were able to bypass the crowd. Would highly recommend this tour and thank you Ben.

Beautiful hike!! - We were a little worried that the hike would be too slow for us but as it turns out the hike was great because our expert Guide, Neil, included some beautiful vistas, some challenging rocky paths, long paths and waterscapes and a idyllic place to have our lunch! Neil was informative and knowledgeable and I would recommend his hikes to anyone!

A must-do canyon hike - Terry treated us to a most interesting and engaging tour. Be sure to ask for her! Maligne Canyon is beautiful on so many levels. I don't usually take a lot of video, but because so many of the best moments involved loud, moving water, still pictures are insufficient. If you have time for only one canyon in the Rockies, I recommend Maligne over Johnston.

Spectacular tour! - The Maligne Canyon guided tour was spectacular. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We had an encounter with a grizzly bear and two cubs. A one in a thousand chance but we were confident with our guide and knew what to do.

Great experience - This is great tour for anyone with limited time and with interest into getting to know and see some of the attractions Jasper has to offer. It is a nice hike, with great views and information about the environment you're walking in.

Down, then up, along the river with limited views. - Because of the deep cut of the river you rarely see the water, but there are four (or five) bridges crossing that give you a better view. Steps are cut into parts of the trail making the footing better, but it is still all down and then up. Not along trail, although you can extend it well into the canyon, but but by then you have left the bridges and everyone else behind with little change in the view or reason to extend.

Nice walk but not a hike - It's not really a hike it's a walk , very touristy and could easy be done by yourself without a guide in an hour. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable but don't expect a wilderness adventure.
