What To Expect
Embarking on a guided hike through Grotto Canyon is an unforgettable experience that intertwines the beauty of nature with the rich tapestry of history. As we navigate the rugged trails, the guide shares captivating tales of the First Nations peoples who once roamed these lands, illustrating their deep connection to the environment.
Upon reaching the sheltered rock face adorned with ancient pictographs, we gather in awe as our guide points out the intricate symbols etched into the stone—each telling a story of the past, depicting significant events, spiritual beliefs, and the daily lives of those who came before us.
