Many years of erosion have carved this natural phenomenon. Maligne Canyon hike only requires a mere hour of your time. The best views are between bridges 1 and 4. Bridge 5 and 6 are further downstream where the canyon is much wider and, in my eyes, much less impressive.
It's a well walked path that gets very busy during the day. My advice would be to try and complete the short walk before the first bus tour arrives at around 8:30 am
Length: 4km (2.5 miles) return to 4th bridge
Estimated Duration: 1.5 hours
Elevation Gain: 150m (492ft)

Because of its spectacular beauty and very limited permit number, visitors to the park start to line up as early as 7am! It's well worth it though. You get so close to the base of Mount Edith Cavell that it feels like you can just reach out and touch it.
The Cavell Meadows Trail offers many different views of the surrounding mountains but chances are you won't be able to look away from the Edith Cavell and its glaciers, a mountain that commands your gaze.

Athabasca Falls
An easy, flat walk that takes you to 5 of Jaspers Lakes. Each lake has a different depth offering various shades of blue and green depending on the light and the time of year.
Admittedly it's not the most exciting hike on this list but if you're not feeling too energetic or fancy a relaxing afternoon stroll, this is what you should go for. This is one of the locations where you can find the famous Muskoka red chairs that are spread around in some of the most scenic locations in Jasper National Park.
Length: 4.5km (2.8 miles)
Estimated Duration: 1 - 2 hours
Elevation Gain: Less than 100m (328ft)
