Jasper Landmarks and Jasper Monuments
(Jasper, Alberta - AB, Canada)



Some of the main landmarks in the Jasper area are not manmade, but formed by nature over literally thousands of year. Surrounding the Jasper townsite, the region's main landmarks have become an integral part of the scenery and landscape.

Popular landmarks on Jasper's outskirts include the simply breathtaking Athabasca Falls, the awesome Maligne Canyon, and the more unusual Miette Hotsprings, where locals and visitors from Jasper come to bathe throughout the year. Here are Jasper's main landmarks.

Jasper Landmarks and Monuments: Maligne Canyon - Maligne Lake Road, Jasper, Alberta (AB), T0E 1E0, Canada
Tel: +1 780 852 5565
One of the most exceptional natural landmarks in the Jasper area, the Maligne Canyon (pronounced 'ma-leen') is the result of erosion over many thousands of years. With tremendous variations in depth and height, at the deepest point the Maligne Canyon measures around 60 meters / 200 feet. Self-guided trails and a number of high bridges over the canyon afford some superb views, with the scenery changing dramatically season by season. This dramatic limestone gorge is just 7 miles / 11 km to the east of Jasper.
