Overview

Looking to try Canyoning for the first time? Then this is the trip for you! An easy approach, an ideal location to learn rappelling, and amazing scenery all make this trip the perfect choice for your first canyoning trip. Heart Creek Canyon is also our closest trip to the townsites of Banff & Canmore (10 minute drive from Canmore, 30 min drive from Banff). Upper Heart Canyon provides a perfect location to learn and develop your rope rappelling skills. Introductory short rappels allow you to ease into rappelling and increase in length as you progress down the canyon, finally culminating with an exciting 70-80ft+ wet waterfall rappel and slide (optional: it is possible to hike around the lower falls).

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Heart Creek Trail Head, 105, New exit from Highway 1 to New Roundabout, Bighorn No. 8, AB T0L 2C0, Canada

After meeting your guides and other participants at the staging area in the Heart Creek Trail parking lot, a 30 - 45 min hike will bring you to the top of both the Canyon sections, and the start of your canyon adventure. Everyone suits up and in order to ensure safety your guides will go thru a mandatory rappel and rope safety clinic. There are a total of 5 rappels, interspersed with some scrambling and hiking. The upper canyon is the easier section and can be dry later on in the summer. This gives everyone the opportunity to ease into the rappelling. The last rappel on the lower canyon section is always wet (it can be considered optional it is not required to exit the canyon, a hike around is available).

We had a great time on our canyoning trip with Chris! He was very helpful and patient with us. It was just our family of 4 and the weather was perfect. The hike in to the canyon was a little more than we bargained for but we made it fine (it was a breeze for our twenty something daughters of course). The wet suits were much appreciated as the temperature dropped as you got higher up in the canyon and the water was VERY cold. We all had hiking boots on which was helpful but be prepared for them to be soaked as you will be landing/sliding in to waist deep water. Definitely a fun bucket list activity!

We had a great time canyoning at heart creek! Our guide, Pablo, was absolutely fantastic. He gave us really clear instructions and guidance and told us so much about the trails/canyon around us throughout the day. The canyoning was great fun and varied and we had the opportunity to practice away from the canyons before starting, which was super helpful. The views and surrounding area are also wonderful! If you are in Canmore/nearby, definitely consider canyoning! We had never done canyoning before this activity. Would definitely go again!

Zach was a wonderful guide and we really enjoyed our experience. The area and canyon were beautiful and the rappelling down the waterfall is a highlight of our trip

This was an absolute highlight! Pablo is not only a super friendly and patient guide, but he also gave us an enormous amount of knowledge about the surrounding nature and his experiences. And of course the rappelling and sliding down was great fun!
