No need for previous experience required. A full-on adventure with friends / family!
After a helicopter flight over Abraham Lake, along Elliot peak and above BATUS Canyon, your helicopter will drop you off on a ridge on Ernest Ross Peak. After enjoying a 360 view of the canyon and the 50-meter and 60-meter waterfalls, following your expert guides you’ll begin your journey down alpine meadows, rappelling down small waterfalls, and whizzing down natural water slides until you reach the creek that will take you to the mouth of the canyon.
The creek will disappear into a narrowing opening with 30-meter walls that seem to split the mountain in two. Inside the slot, you’ll rappel down a succession of 3 tall waterfalls all while in a dark, tight rock corridor where we can barely see the sky, almost like a cave. Your journey ends at a famous 45-meter waterfall, the equivalent of a 16-story building!
