Alpine Cave Adventure

Seasonal - Late August to Early September
Other dates between July 15 and September 1st can be arranged if group size is 4 or more persons.

Join our 2-3 day backcountry alpine cave tour in the spectacular Crowsnest Pass region of southern Alberta! After 4-wheeling for 7 km along a seismic line, we backpack to a camp in the alpine meadows. From there, we explore 2 caves high in the mountain ridges above - Cleft Cave and Gargantua Cave. Cleft Cave ends at a "window" overlooking the next valley. Gargantua Cave is an exhilarating trip involving five rappels, through large chambers and narrow passages before emerging behind a waterfall at the base of Mount Ptolemy. This tour is for backcountry camping enthusiasts who are extremely fit and seeking a unique outdoor experience. No caving experience is necessary. Access to Gargantua Cave is dependent on the snow pack conditions on the Ptolemy Plateau.

Self-catered: Groups are expected to arrive equipped for camping - food, stoves, tent, sleeping bags etc. Details available on request and will be provided prior to the trip.

All participants are required to sign a waiver prior to the tour.
