9:00am-1:00pm                                  Discover the Ice Canyons - Meet at Registration desk at 8:45am

Join us where time stands still amongst frozen waterfalls and native folklore.  This winter wonderland experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.  A knowledgeable, interpretive guide will lead you past pillars of ice and through the steep canyon walls.  Walking right on the canyon floor will lead you to your destination, a spectacular icefall at the back of the canyon, where you can sit back and watch ice climbers scale the ice.  Ice cleats and hiking poles are provided.  After your hike through the ice you will head to Maple Leaf Bar and Grill for a rustic yet sophisticated dining experience located in the heart of downtown.  This will certainly delight;  with its exciting view of downtown Banff and the picturesque mountains beyond.  The atmosphere is accented by wonderful rustic décor and highlighted by a waterwall over fieldstone rock.  This is an award winning restaurant offering a uniquely Canadian dining experience with Canadian influences throughout the menu and an extensive wine list.
