MALIGNE CANYON GALLERY

NEAR JASPER
THE CANYON IS ONLY 2M WIDE AT ITS NARROWEST POINT AND IT REACHES OVER 50M IN DEPTH. A KARST SYSTEM OF CAVES RIDDLE THE MALIGNE VALLEY BETWEEN THE LAKE & THE CANYON AND, MYSTERIOUSLY, WATER FROM THE LAKE CAN TAKE UP TO A WEEK TO REACH THE CANYON 10 MILES AWAY, & SEVERAL OTHER LAKES IN THE JASPER AREA. HENCE THE NAME 'MALIGNE' BESTOWED ON THE AREA BY THE INDIANS AS IT WAS THOUGHT 'BAD MEDICINE'. THE GORGE WAS FORMED BY THE ACTION OF WATER ON THE LIMESTONE ROCKS.

Well a guide informed us that a ram tried once, to get to a ewe on the other side. Unfortunately he wasn't able to confirm this...as he didn't make it!

anybody tried to jump this canyon across at narrow point ?! Just for sake of proving that it's 2 m indeed ? V
