Mistaya Canyon is a beautiful and lesser-visited canyon and gem along the Icefields Parkway, near Jasper. It is located about 5 km south of Saskatchewan Crossing along the Icefields Parkway going through Banff and Jasper National Parks.

From the parking area, a short walk (~10 minutes, about 1 km each way) through the peaceful forest led to a wooden bridge crossing a river from where the deep canyon was visible.

Mistaya Canyon was a beautiful natural wonder with rushing water, rock formations and multiple waterfalls to see! It was surrounded by such gorgeous scenery of mountains and forests and was very picturesque – perfect for plenty of photo opportunities. You can cross the bridge and walk a little ways along the river to admire some different views of the canyon.
