I had a full weekend off and as a rule if that happens we go away somewhere.

I decided that we hadn't been to Maligne Lake yet and would love to go and look at it.  It is just before you get to Jasper and has it's own road leading to the Lake that is 44km's long.

We got up or should I say I got up at 4:30am with a husband that wasn't best pleased about being dragged out of bed at this time of the morning.  We set off at about 6am, I think after grabbing a McDonalds and taking the Yellowhead straight to Jasper.

When we got to the turning point and headed down the road to the Lake I must say it has to be on of the prettiest drives I have ever been on!!

As you can see it snowed!

Before you get to the Lake there is a parking area to go and see the Canyon, that was quite impressive.

The Canyon is Limestone

Below you can just about make out the bridge that crosses the Canyon

It was so very pretty

A mini waterfall

This picture make me smile, we were so happy to see the snow covered mountains again.

This is Maligne Lake, it is approximatley 22.5 km long and 97 metres at its deepest point.

It was a very worth while trip and I would highly reccomend it.

We had dinner and I decided that it was going to cost too much to stop over night and I suggested we should drive back.

It was 10:10pm when we finally got throught the door and into our Condo, we were both very tired. and went straight to bed.
