Maligne Canyon, Natural canyon in Jasper National Park, Canada
Maligne Canyon extends over 50 meters deep through limestone bedrock, featuring a network of waterfalls connected by six bridges across the gorge.
The formation of Maligne Canyon began during the last Ice Age when glacial meltwater carved through layers of limestone, creating deep gorges.
The French term 'Maligne' was assigned to the canyon by early explorers who encountered challenging conditions along the water passages.
The canyon trail stretches 3.7 kilometers from Sixth Bridge to First Bridge, with multiple access points and parking areas along the route.
Underground springs emerge between the fifth and sixth bridges, joining the Maligne River beneath the hiking trail through limestone crevices.
