Curving out from the front range of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Bow River’s Horseshoe Canyon has been drawing thrill-seekers with its big waves and spirited class 2-4 whitewater rapids for decades. The steep walls of the shale canyon also offer an excellent opportunity to view large birds of prey and nesting cliff swallows. If you’re feeling extra edgy, why not get the ultimate thrill and try a heart pumping cliff jump? Don’t worry, the cliff jump is optional!
