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).

What To Expect

1. Heart Creek Trail Head 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). 4 hours

Zach was an amazing guide and so much fun to hang around with for the day. All of my kids had the best time. Challenging and super fun.

Absolutely must do in Banff

Had a wonderful experience! Marc and the other guide were so much fun and made sure everyone felt safe while also having a great time. Once in a lifetime experience! For those signing up for the summer, we did spend a lot of time in the water/waterfalls and it was cold lol but it only added to the experience!

Epic Adventure

Published on Jun, 2024

This was an awesome experience for my husband and I! Kris, our guide, made the experience so amazing, giving us local recommendations, helpful tips, and hyping us up along the way. A huge shoutout goes to him for making this experience awesome for us! We didn’t bring a waterproof camera, but Kris made sure to get a few snapshots of us on his phone along the way, going above and beyond for us! Our group was only my husband and I, as we were the only ones who booked that time slot. It made things go very smoothly and quick, and made our experience much more personalized. There was a lot of water in the canyon when we went (June 4), so a good amount of our experience was sliding and getting lowered, however, it you go when the upper canyon is more dry it will be more rappelling. Our favorite part was the 60ft rappel in the lower canyons near the end of the tour! This was a pretty physically demanding activity, so I would only recommend it to those that are confident in their physical fitness. The hike up wasn’t bad, but rappelling did take a good amount of physical strength. This was on the top 5 list of craziest, most awesome things I’ve ever done. I strongly recommend it for adventurous, thrill seeking people!

Great Adventure
