"We had a fantastic time on the Science Ice Walk with our three children, ages 9, 5, and 5. Heather was a superb guide who kept the kids interested and entertained, and taught us all a lot about the nature and science of the area, and it’s water. The ice falls and rocks were breathtaking, as was the scenery of the entire hike. Heather gave the kids lab coats to add to the fun, along with hot chocolate (with marshmallows) and muffins. Highly recommend to families with children! You will all have a great time, while also learning things you would never learn anywhere else."

Is it time to chase frozen waterfalls?
You will begin your experience by meeting your guide at the trailhead near Crowsnest Pass. Directions to the trailhead will be sent out via email ahead of time. Once the paperwork and equipment are handed out, you will do a quick ice breaker (get it?). Now, it is time to explore and discover the wonders of ice. The ice walk is a gentle walk with some short steeper sections. You will make several stops along the way to discover the winter wonderland. The best parts of your experience will be walking through a beautiful canyon, listening to the water running below your feet, seeing ice features along the canyon, enjoying the experiments, and learning along the way. Once you are at the frozen waterfall, you will have time to take pictures, do some activities, and enjoy some yummy hot chocolate. You will then return to the trailhead and if there is time, you will try your hand at another science experiment.
