They drive around the park by car, go hiking, cycling, and horseback riding, climb mountains, try rafting, canoeing, fishing, and taking pictures of amazing scenery. The most popular among tourists are the ancient Athabasca glacier and the 23 m high waterfall with the same name; the narrow, amazingly beautiful Malin Canyon, the trout-infested Medicine Lake.
