Practical information
This 5-6 hour activity is perfect for a first taste of canyoning in Heart Creek near Banff. The descent is mainly a hike in the canyon with short abseils and an 18-metre abseil that can be bypassed.
- An excellent option for groups of different levels.
Course of events
- Meet at the Heart Creek car park (15 minutes east of Canmore town centre), 15 minutes before departure time.
- Equipment and safety: You will have a quick chat with your guide to discuss the progress of the excursion, equipment and safety.
- Access to the canyon: You will walk to the upper entrance of the canyon, generally between 30 and 45 minutes' walk (3km / 200 metres ascent).
- Canyoning: From here you descend the upper canyon. This section is fun and picturesque. The minimal exposure allows everyone to feel comfortable on the rope at their own pace.
- Short walk: 5 minutes' walk from the end of the upper section before reaching the last section of the canyon.
- Abseiling: A magnificent waterfall and an 18-metre abseil for the grand finale! Those who don't feel comfortable can bypass this section.
- Back to the car park.
