Spirit island

A small island in Maligne lake, Jasper National park. It is hidden far away so you need to take the Maligne lake boat service to reach here. No trails or other way to get this view. The ticket is bit expensive but worth it. When you start, the color of the water is just normal which turns to green and then to blue. It is awesome!

If you look from other side, it is hard to distinguish this tiny island. As the boat was approaching the shore, we all were searching for the island :) It is said that long ago, a photographer put this photo in his exhibition and the world got to know about such a magical place and it became very famous afterwards. He named the photo as Spirit island and the place known so then. It is one of the most photographed locations in the world!
