What To Expect
Grotto Canyon
Grotto Canyon is one of the more beautiful walks in the Canmore/Banff region. Hiking down a frozen creek bed through a tiny canyon, past unique rock formations and majestic icefalls, is known as the Grotto Canyon Icewalk.
When snow covers these three peaks in the winter, they look like a nun's headpiece. The three peaks were given the name the Three Sisters in 1886.

5.00Grassi lakes should 100% be on your list when planning an itinerary and look no further than this amazing company. They are so good it's like going on a day trip with a friend. Chris was very knowledgeable and he hiked up with us and stayed with the slowest member of the group so everyone was always included. I'll be recommending this company to my friends back in England!
Steep climb but worth it

5.00Really good views, the tour guild was good, the only thing was you have to climb a steep mountain to get to Grassi lake which I didn’t know (I’m unfit) but once there it’s very quiet and peaceful. There is also a lot of walking at the grotto canyon, only wildlife we saw was a squirrel
