Icefields Parkway, Canada
The Mistaya flows through this impressive gorge. The canyon is easy to reach and well worth a visit.
Ce que tu peux vivre ici
Thundering water, smoothly polished rocks and a natural wonder that has formed over thousands of years – Mistaya Canyon on the Icefields Parkway is a perfect stopover on your journey through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Here, away from the main tourist crowds, you experience the untamed power of nature up close.
A short, easy trail leads you through open woodland straight to the canyon. Once there, you can watch as the Mistaya River roars through the narrow rock and carves ever deeper potholes into the stone. The narrow bridge and rock ledges offer spectacular views of the water and the surrounding peaks.
The trailhead is right on the Icefields Parkway, about 5 kilometres south of Saskatchewan River Crossing. Allow about 10 minutes for the out-and-back walk – perfect for a short break on your drive through the Rockies.
