The caber toss is a traditional sport where competitors toss a large tapered pole, or “caber”. This caber is usually a Larch (juniper) tree, 19 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. Tossing it is a test of both strength and power. Don't miss the excitement of the Canmore Highland Games Festival.
