Looking to try canyoning for the first time? Then this tour at Heart Creek Canyon near Canmore is the one for you!
An easy approach, an ideal location to learn rappelling, and amazing scenery all make the Heart Creek Canyon trip the perfect choice for your first canyoning experience.
After meeting your guides and other participants at the staging area in the Heart Creek Trail parking lot, a 30 – 45 minute hike will bring you to the top of both the canyon sections, and the start of your canyon adventure. Everyone suits up and in order to ensure safety your guides will go through a mandatory rappel and rope safety clinic.
There are a total of five rappels, interspersed with some scrambling and hiking, and the introductory short rappels allow you to ease into rappelling and increase in length as you progress down the canyon. Your adventure finally culminates with an exciting 60 foot wet waterfall rappel and slide (this part is optional, it is possible to hike around the lower falls if you prefer).
