Maligne Canyon Ice Walk (2018) Jasper National Park Alberta Canada - Backcountry Forward

- Explore the magnificent Maligne Canyon Ice Walk in Jasper National Park in Alberta Canada! A spectacular winter hike for all to see!
Maligne Canyon is a beautiful sight to see in summer, but perhaps even more spectacular in the winter months. This ice walk along Maligne Canyon's frozen floor is one of Jasper National Park's most popular winter destinations and is a must see for all!
We ventured into the canyon to see its sights and enjoy the wonder of looking up the steep water-carved canyon walls. You can expect to see many frozen waterfalls and ice formations throughout the journey. You'll definitely want a pair of ice spikes/crampons for this hike!
Paid tours are offered for those wanting the experience of a guide taking them through Maligne Canyon, however, you can also enjoy this hike at your own risk without a guide. For some, a guide would be best, especially if you're not comfortable with winter hiking, or are new to the Rock Mountains; avid hikers and "locals" can enjoy this trek with ease and just a bit of common sense.
Maligne Canyon is located in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada and is only about 15 minutes away from the town of Jasper. Begin the hike at the 5th bridge turnout when driving Maligne Road. The trail is hard to miss!
Make sure you bring your camera, there will be many sights along the way!

Its been yrs. since i have been through the mts. in Banff & Jasper in the winter. Frozen Athabasca falls, staying at Beauty creek hostel, near the ice fields, cross country skiing. Most people see the parks in the summer and never venture beyond jasper/Banff townsite to enjoy the back countrys Winter majesty. Except to go downhill skiing. Good on you to to get out there and enjoy the outdoors no matter what the season. And remind/show folks what they are missing.
To be honest, this is really our first season getting out in winter. We've wanted to get out and get some experience in the front country in winter before venturing too far into the backcountry, hopefully in the years ahead.
And on another note, we had planned to drive all the way to Willcox pass and slowly drive back exploring a bunch of the different short hikes along the way (beauty creek/stanley falls, sunwapta falls, athabasca, etc). Unfortunately, our car broke down and we had to get towed all the way back to Edmonton.
Not sure if u guys cross country ski or snowshoe , but a great way to get pinto Wilcox pass area. I hiked sunwapta falls & Athabasca falls last summer. Did a lot of park hikes with free access on Canada 150 pass. Mt. Robson is just an hr west of Jasper great 4 k hike up to Kinney lake. Looking forward to ur next adventure.
We been in Jasper several times,, but haven't explore Maligne Canyon . Thank you for the post, will do the both, summer and winter walk next time.
Enzo H it’s a wonderful experience in both seasons!
Which trail did you guys take to get in to the gate to maligne ice walk?
Thank you for the video. Could you tell between which bridges is the entry point?
thanks for watching! Bridge 5 is the main parking lot that starts the hike!
Great snow, it looks really cold.
It was actually quite beautiful that day, and not too cold.
