Introduction[edit]
Ogre Canyon is a water-based canyon with numerous waterfall rappels which offers those seeking adventure the perfect opportunity to step outside their comfort zone. A short approach hike of approximately 30 minutes (100m elevation gain) will lead you through spectacular scenery to the rim of the canyon, which is tucked into a small silver of land between the first range of the Rockies and Brule Lake. Once you descend inside, you will make your way down approximately 8 rappels with the highest descent being around 25 meters. The highlight of the day is the infamous ‘Turbowash’. About half way down this impressive drop, a waterfall feeds in from above, providing the ultimate rush.
