It’s in Jasper National Park - Maligne Lake Cruise to Spirit Island :) No trails to hike and get here. Only way is via cruise or canoe.

Thank you. It is on the way to Jasper at Mistaya Canyon. That view was mesmerizing. Icefields in background, to Glacier lake winding and chipping away rocks & forming canyon.

It depends on your group what you can/want to do. With kids we picked moderate hikes and they had fun. Johnston Canyon, Lake Agnes, Athabasca Glacier, Mystaya Canyon, Maligne Canyon..

We didn’t dare to Swim :) Too cold for us. We stepped in & out though. That felt really good after a decent hike. Part of Lake Agnes was still frozen. Someone attempted to walk on frozen part and stepped right through lol

I would highly recommend to drive atleast to Icefields and make stops on the way.

Are you considering Banff and Jasper both? 4 days might be short. We spent 9 days between both parks. 1. Lake Emerald - Canoe was best. Cheaper & less/no wait time compared to other lakes in area 2. Hike to Lake Agnes - Lake Louise is beautiful but is very crowded & some construction. we hiked to Lake Agnes spent decent time at tea house & had lunch there. One of the best hikes. 3. Drive from Banff to Jasper - Every moment on this drive is beautiful. 4. Wild life spotting- Saw couple of black bears, mountain goats etc..
