Eroded out of the Palliser Formation, Maligne Canyon is located in Alberta, Canada in Jasper National Park. The canyon is nearly 7 feet wide at some points and over 160 feet deep. Water from Medicine Lake flows into the Maligne River and drops down the canyon, creating an underground river flow that is joined by various other streams.

Altogether, the view is absolutely breathtaking, and Maligne Canyon is popular for visitors who want to sightsee and explore; the surrounding areas are filled with waterfalls, stream outlets, and plant and bird life. Visitors can walk on one of four bridges across the gorge or take a short hiking tour to the upper reaches of the canyon.
