This tour starts out as a gentle hike through the forested Bow River valley for a short distance, eventually coming to a deep canyon with steep walls. Entering the canyon, we'd begin a gentle climb up a frozen river bed and the canyon walls will climb around us. With various views of picturesque mountain peaks along the way, we'll eventually come to frozen waterfalls, likely being scaled by ice climbers using picks and ropes. The trail then continues down the valley for exploring depending on your time and energy. The hike is rated as easy but is enjoyable for all levels of explorers. Depending on the weather conditions, either ice cleats or snowshoes may be appropriate. Both are included in the price of your tour. Following the hike, just 15 minutes away is the mountain town of Canmore where a stop for food and beverage or shopping in the afternoon is an option. Canmore is a favorite of the locals away from the large crowds. Or we can check on some of the local frozen lakes on the return to Banff.
-We will meet at your hotel in Banff, Canmore, or Calgary, sign our waivers and head to the trailhead. -There, we will prepare for the tour and get fitted up with any necessary gear. -Depending on conditions, we will use either ice cleats or snowshoes. In the summer, we'd use shoes. -We will begin with our hike up the trail and the frozen river bed. -We will reach the point of the frozen waterfalls. -Along our way, do keep an eye out for ancient native pictographs. -We will continue up the valley with plenty of time to take photos. -We will stop for snacks (included) along the trail. -We will return to our starting point after approximately 2-3 hours and do the optional visit to Canmore or Banff area for 1-2 hours. -We will then return to Banff or Calgary. This tour is weather dependent but we will ensure to make the most of the day or find a suitable alternative.
