Quick Overview
Have you heard of Canyoning before? Canyoning, also known as canyoneering, is an outdoor adventure activity that involves traveling through canyons using various techniques, including hiking, scrambling, climbing, rappelling, and swimming. It’s an adrenaline-pumping experience, especially if you have never done anything like it before.
If this sounds like something you want to try while in the Rockies, Heart Creek Canyon, just outside of Canmore, is a great place to start. It offers incredible scenery, and the canyoning experience features an easy approach where you can safely try rappeling with rope with guides before you even begin with the real fun!
There are five rappels, interspersed with some scrambling and hiking, but all are suitable for beginners. There are introductory short rappels that allow you to ease into rappelling and increase in length as you progress down the canyon. The grand finale is rappeling an exciting 60-foot wet waterfall rappel and slide. Don’t forget the GoPro and get prepared to get wet!
