Maligne Canyon, Jasper National Park, Alberta
Maligne Canyon has been created by erosion in limestone, a relatively soft and soluble stone. It is quite narrow in places (< 7 feet) and as deep as 165 feet. Walkways are above the canyon since there is not enough room in the canyon and any structures would be damaged during flooding.
There are six bridges that allow you to stand right over some drops that may give you vertigo.
I saw the elk gathered by the river on my way back.
