Whitewater Rafting Horseshoe Canyon
There’s a lesser-known side to the Bow River – one that’s ripe for exploration for those willing to get on the water. Meltwater and mountain streams join with the Bow as it flows east towards the dramatic Horseshoe Canyon. To raft down this canyon is to feel the pulse of the wilderness amidst the steep shale canyon walls and the surging whitewater. Your adrenaline levels will change with the terrain as you surf rapids and consider a cliff jump. In calmer moments, the sun will warm you as your guide shares insights into the fascinating geology of the canyon.
