Spirit Island has been a must-see destination for years, but you’ve likely encountered this landmark even beyond the borders of Jasper National Park. Be it in a movie, in a painting, or on a postcard - the beauty and mystery of Spirit Island have been circulated around the globe. Spirit Island is located halfway down the very long, very beautiful Maligne Lake. It is 14 kilometres away from the nearest road or footpath, and another 47 kilometres from the nearest town (Jasper). This is the only time in my 7 time trip to canadian rockies I can able to take a good shot of this iconic landmark, other time is either raining or cloudy.
