Jasper
Sunday, planning a resting day and doing laundry.
What a failure.
Started with a hike from Maligne Lake to the
Bald Hills, and 3 summits. 15 km and 800 m steep up,
to get a 360 view of the lake and the
surrounding mountains.
On the way back, stopped at Maligne canyon.
What a surprise. Got an overdose of waterfalls.
Six bridges (5th was closed, so only did 1st up to 5th).
A canyon, longer than 1 km, at points more than
50 m deep, and most are even underground tubes.
Thousand of years has formed these beautiful canyon
Some nice story
Maligne is French for "evel" or "wicked". Father
Pierre-Jean de Smet, a Belgian Jesuit missionary,
used the word to describe the river after having
trouble crossing it on his horse in 1846.
And along the road, some young bighorn sheep.
