About Discover Banff Tours | 8:30 AM - Grotto Canyon Icewalk
Details
Departs at 8:30 AM
Duration of 4 hours
Walking Distance: 4.2 km (2.6 miles)
Elevation Gain: 100m (328 feet)
Here at Grotto Canyon, our Icewalk hikes the frozen creek bed through a narrow canyon, past unusual rock formations and spectacular icefalls. This is a unique experience to walk directly on the ice, and walking on the creek bed floor gives you a unique view of the canyon.
You might see ice climbers scaling the frozen waterfalls, but for many, the highlight is the ancient native pictographs that are easily missed by the general public. Your guide will point out the stunted pine forest and hidden ancient native pictographs, which were likely created by Hopi visitors from the Arizona region. The symbols have many possible meanings and origins and you will learn more about First Nation history in the Bow Valley.
All icewalks include hot chocolate to warm you up and our famous maple cookies!
