Maligne Canyon
(http://malignecanyon.com). the river, up near maligne lake, flows in a mighty torrent. when it enters medicine lake named in reference to bad medicine it does so with great volumes. it does not, however, appear to flow out. indeed, through the summer months medicine lake disappears until, in mid autumn all that is left is a thin channel that itself disappears into the shoreline. in winter, walk on the canyon bottom to see masses of blue ice where waterfalls flow in the summertime!
Athabasca Falls
The athabasca river thunders through a narrow gorge where the walls have been smoothed and potholes are created by the sheer force of the rushing water carrying sand and rock. parking and restroom facilities. paved trail and picnic sites available.
Excellent camping in the summer. Cross Country and downhill skiing (http://www.skimarmot.com) in winter.
Rent a bike. Plenty of sport shops offer bikes, which are a great way to see the area.
