A short forest loop over the debris of a huge landslide: thousands of years ago, half a billion cubic metres of rock fell from the ridge across Maligne Lake, blocking the valley and enlarging the lake.
The path winds among hills and hollows with mossy, lichen-covered boulders, reaches Moose Lake in one of those hollows, and descends gently to the shore of Maligne Lake to return to the parking lot.
Park as for Bald Hills at Maligne Lake. Start on the Bald Hills Trail, then branch left after 200 m onto the Maligne Pass Trail toward Moose Lake.
📍 Bald Hills parking lot, Maligne Lake, Maligne Road
Late spring to fall. Parks Canada also lists it among its winter walks.
Moose and bears are seen in the Maligne Valley. Keep at least 30 m from elk, deer and bighorn sheep, and 100 m from bears, wolves, cougars and coyotes.
