Cruising Maligne Lake
Looking back after my short 15 minute visit to Spirit Island, which is right behind on the left. The island is special but it's those peaks that surround it on the southern end that make it iconic.
"In 1907 Mary Schaeffer, a wealthy Quaker from Philadelphia, learned of the mysterious lake. Following a map obtained from Samson Beaver, Mary explored the valley and lake and later wrote about her adventures, making the area a popular tourist attraction in years to follow. She called the box canyon where it sits “the Hall of Gods”. In comparing it to another place she knew well, she said “If Lake Louise is a pearl, Maligne is the entire pearl necklace.” Wikipedia
Thanks for taking a look, and for any comments, faves and suggestions!
