Hey guys welcome back to the channel we are here in Jasper
and today we are doing the Maligne Canyon ice walk tour
we have been really excited to try this tour for a long time now we've actually been here
in the winter and looked down into the canyon but we've never walked along the floor before so we're
pretty much get going yeah the ice formations that happen along the sides look pretty intense we've
seen a lot of photos of them and we're really excited to experience that for ourselves for those
of you who don't know us i'm Cayleigh i'm David and we run a travel and adventure blog called Made
to Travel we're passionate about activities that get you outside and off the beaten path let's go
This tour is 3.5 kilometers it's fairly easy it's for like ages six and up you just um it's mostly
downhill it takes about three hours and it's really reasonably priced it's like 69 for an adult
35 for a kid it is about minus 20 here this morning in Jasper so we are definitely bundling
up that's like one of the biggest suggestions would be just dress for the weather because it's
cold and there's not a lot of sun down down in the canyon yeah and once you start walking like
there's no places to like go and warm up like once you're on the walk you're outdoors you're
away from everything so definitely want to wear big socks long underwear these pants for sure
pants yeah because one section has a part where you actually slide down a rock which is really
neat but you want to wear something that you're not gonna rip yeah they supply boots a helmet and
spikes so don't worry about bringing those things if you have your own you could bring them but i
would recommend just using theirs because they're really good stuff yeah i actually i'm going to
bring my heated socks and put those inside their rubber boots which i feel like this tour starts at
the Maligne Canyon wilderness kitchen and then it weaves across the canyon you'll go back and forth
across like three or four bridges and the guides are awesome they're really knowledgeable
After the fourth bridge you go down onto the floor of the canyon and then the first stop is
into an ice cave which is really cool you can actually go in and
walk around you can see all the water dripping down which is pretty neat
can you keep going
and then from there you make your way back up to about the third bridge which is where
the majority of the really cool frozen i guess we call them frozen waterfalls but
actually interesting fact they are frozen springs so the spring
water comes out of the walls year round at a constant temperature hi
Bailey's been sick so we've had a little bit of a needy dog this week
loving the road trip though
so in the summer the springs just look like a wet wall obviously because the water's coming
down but in the winter it looks like a huge frozen waterfall and it's constantly changing
because water is constantly coming out and the ice formations are growing and it's pretty cool
that pretty much sums it up thank you so much for watching thank you
