Canyon Xplorer : North Shore  


Vancouver's Hidden Wilderness.

This North Shore canyon is true wilderness that most people never reach — walls polished smooth by glaciers and millennia of moving water, old-growth coastal rainforest closing in overhead, moss everywhere. You'll rappel waterfalls, scramble polished rock, slide or jump into deep canyon pools — guided and coached every step of the way — challenged, immersed in nature, and leaving with a sense of accomplishment.
