Description of the tour

This is by far the best way to experience Canyoning in the Rockies!

After a breathtaking helicopter flight over Abraham Lake, the adrenaline will already be pumping as you enjoy a hot landing on the ridge of our canyon with 360-degree scenic views!

Our adventure begins as we follow a creek from its source through the canyon, encountering alpine vegetation, rappelling down waterfalls, and sliding down natural water slides. The canyon then constricts into a dark, tight rock corridor, almost like a cave. This atmospheric section culminates in a descent down a stunning 45-meter waterfall. From there, we begin our descent of the gorgeous lower section complete with more rappels, slides and sceneries.

This is a high commitment environment and a long route. You should be comfortable with heights and moving water.

If you’re feeling unsure as to whether this is the trip for you, please contact us and we can answer any questions you may have.
