Ever been up Grotto Canyon? Well, it’s warming up again here in Canmore and a ice walk just might be the ticket. Took the teenagers up a few days ago and they loved it! You can slip and slide all the way up and down or wear attachable cleats or crampons on your boots to avoid a fall. The canyon walls and ice falls are very pretty and look for ancient indian pictographs on the left side canyon wall about 2/3rds the way up. To get there, take the 1A highway highway east from Canmore 12 kms. Just past Gap Lake, look for the green “BayMag 2″ plant entrance sign and turn left into the plant but drive straight ahead and park along the gravel side road. Walk along the side road west past the plant and look for the brown hiker trail sign pointing right that leads up to the canyon walk. Enjoy!
