Scenic Helicopter Tours, from Canmore
Kananaskis & Canmore
ALBERTA
DEPARTS: CANMORE
This adventure tour has been recognized as a Canadian Signature Experience. Cavers will rappel 18m (that’s 6 Stories!) inside the cave, plus have the opportunity to push their limits in the warm-up squeeze, challenge squeeze, and the Laundry Chute – a section of the cave that adds a little extra challenge but a whole lot of extra fun. Visit the impressive Grand Gallery – the largest known room in the cave, then surround yourself with ancient cave formations in the Grotto. You will spend approximately four hours underground on this tour. Along the trail, your guide will share with you some of the incredible history of the Bow Valley. You will discuss how caves are formed, the geologic history of the area, discover and examine some of our local fossils, and much more. Make sure to keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and maybe even signs of a bear or a cougar. Soon after entering the cave you’ll rappel 18 m on a rope (with safety line backup) and then climb, crawl, wiggle and slide your way through water-worn passages. Your route through the cave may include “the Box”, the Five Way Chamber, the Laundry Chute the Grand Gallery and finally the Grotto. This beautiful room is the lowest point on the tour, but also one of the highlights with its crystal clear pool and walls covered in stalactites and stalagmites.
Inclusions: coveralls, kneepads, gloves, helmet amd headlamp, harness, safety lanyard, backpack, energy bar and water bottle. Moderate fitness level required. Transfer to the cave site is not included.
