Canyon Tours

From the staging area to the top of the canyon is it a 60-80 minute hike up a narrow trail. Once you are at the top of the canyon, the rapelling adventure begins! The time varies depending on the speed and size of the group. 

If you have a vehicle and if are looking to meet us at the staging area, the meeting spot is located at the “McGillivray slabs parking lot. This parking lot is just off eastbound Highway 1 and just past Deadman’s Flats located approximately 5 - 10 min east of Canmore and 25 min east of Banff:
