Canmore, Canyons and Cave Paintings Hiking Tour

Canmore, Canada

Canmore Trails and Tales Inc

Experience Canmore's enchanting natural landscapes through a guided hike featuring scenic canyons and ancient cave paintings led by an experienced guide. Discover the narrow creek beds and discover the indigenous pictographs etched into the cave walls during this enriching adventure.



Prepare to embark upon an exhilarating hiking adventure. Your journey commences by assembling at the prearranged gathering spot. Subsequently, a brief yet informative 15-minute drive will take you towards the trailhead.

Upon reaching the trailhead, commence your ascent through a series of narrow-walled creeks that meander along their course for several kilometers. As you venture deeper into this landscape, the path narrows considerably, revealing increasingly steep limestone walls that gradually encroach upon your path.

As you approach a significant bend in the creek bed, make note of the distinctive sight ahead: a shimmering cascade of waterfalls. This natural marvel awaits your discovery, offering breathtaking views and perhaps even a refreshing dip if the conditions permit.

The exploration continues as you proceed down a winding pathway that eventually leads you to a secluded cavern. Here, amidst the towering rock formations, ancient, indigenous pictographs await your gaze. These enigmatic drawings offer glimpses into the rich cultural heritage that once thrived within these mountains but now lies buried beneath the sands of time.

This guided tour is meticulously crafted for both the summer months when the weather is favorable and the winter season when the icy landscapes beckon adventurers seeking a different kind of adventure. In the winter, don't miss out on the opportunity to explore the rugged canyon's depths further, thanks to the provision of ice cleats and specialized hiking poles.

Venture into the unknown realms of the canyon with confidence, knowing that your safety and well-being are paramount throughout this unforgettable expedition.
