The canyon is located about 73 kilometers behind Lake Louise in the direction of Jasper, directly on the Icefield Parkway. There is a small parking lot right on the road. Fortunately, the canyon is not very crowded. The one-kilometer hiking trail directly to the canyon is a bit steep, but manageable. Sturdy shoes are recommended, though. A little gem.

Hiking

Located directly on the Icefields Parkway. About a 1 km walk to the Mistaya River and its gorge.
Canada like in a picture book!
