Canmore Cave Tours, Underground cave tours in Canmore, Canada.
Canmore Cave Tours offers guided excursions into Rat's Nest Cave, a natural limestone formation beneath Grotto Mountain with stalactites, stalagmites, and multiple underground chambers. These passages showcase stunning geological formations that developed over thousands of years.
Archaeological finds reveal that people inhabited this cave more than 7,000 years ago, leaving behind bones and ancient markings. These traces document the long history of human presence in the region.
The cave held deep meaning for indigenous peoples who used it for spiritual and practical needs over many generations. Visitors can still see traces of this history in markings and objects left within the chambers.
Sturdy shoes and warm clothing are essential since passages can be narrow and slippery, and underground temperatures remain cool year-round. Headlamps and safety helmets are provided by guides to ensure safe navigation through the cave system.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of around 5°C year-round, regardless of outside weather conditions. This allows visitors to explore comfortably during any season without weather-related disruptions.
