Canmore Day Hike: Grassi Lakes & Grotto Canyon

8 hrs
Departs Morning
Easy

Grassi Lake offers breathtaking beauty in every season. In the warmer months, its turquoise waters reflect the surrounding peaks, while the scenic trail leads you through lush forests and gentle elevation with stunning viewpoints over Canmore. In winter, the lake transforms into a peaceful wonderland, with snow-covered trails and a frozen surface beneath the towering Rockies—a serene escape for nature lovers all year long.

Grotto Canyon is a hidden gem that offers two completely different adventures depending on the season. In summer, walk alongside the gentle creek through narrow canyon walls and discover ancient pictographs etched into the rocks. In winter, the creek freezes over, creating a natural ice walkway surrounded by frozen waterfalls and icicles—an exhilarating and unforgettable experience.

This tour invites you to explore the diverse beauty of the Canadian Rockies—whether you’re wandering through wildflowers or marveling at ice-covered cliffs. Perfect for travelers seeking nature, adventure, and tranquility, no matter the season. Join us and uncover the magic of Grassi Lake and Grotto Canyon!
