- Unique winter canyon walk
- Ice climbers at the Upper Falls
Explore trails less travelled this winter. Just east of Banff National Park lies a hidden gem in Grotto Canyon, a wonderland of frozen waterfalls and steep limestone walls. During the Grotto Canyon Icewalk, you will learn about the formation of the canyon, pick out fossil corals in the rocks, and photograph the incredible pillars of ice as you walk through the canyon bottom. Your professional guide leads you past waterfalls frozen in mid-stream. It's the perfect destination for a break and a chance to see ice climbers in action. Guide, transport and ice cleats included.
