    Maligne Canyon in the Winter

    DateTuesday, April 6, 2010 at 8:30 AM

    Here are two for Tuesday! The first full day of the tour found ourselves throwing on crampons and heading down into Maligne Canyon.  Lots of people have seen the amazing power of the Maligne River crashing down the canyon in the Summer.  This was my first time seeing what beauty Winter brought to the canyon.

    I must admit that for walking up the icey canyon, crampons are essential for safety and staying put when you are lining up your composition. I found the Hillsound Trail Crampon Pro simply amazing.  They have two ratcheting straps per foot and really beefy spikes to give you total confidence on the ice.
