Lights, Camera, Action! This popular Alberta canyon trail is being used as a film set right now

Headed to the mountains? You may have to switch up your plans.

Grotto Mountain Day Use Area, Grotto Pond and Grotto Creek Canyon Trail will be temporarily closed to the public and the reason shouldn’t come as a surprise!

According to Alberta Parks, the area will be restricted to licensed guiding operators due to an “active film production” from Thursday, March 21st to the 24th, 2024.

A stunning destination beloved by hikers and bikers alike, Grotto Mountain and Creek are 12 minutes from Canmore which has been featured in a number of projects including Interstellar, The Revenant, Everwood, and more recently The Last Of Us.

Other projects that are currently underway in Alberta?The Little Girl Who Wasn’t, Christmas in Alaska (Aka. Landing in Christmas) and Brother.

Who do you think is filming in the area, Alberta?

We guess we’ll just have to wait and see when the above shows and movies start premiering!

Grotto Creek Canyon Trail is unmistakably Albertan so it shouldn’t be hard to pick out.
