DATE SCHEDULE PEOPLE Total price Book

Full description The Johnston Canyon Evening Icewalk offers a unique way to experience the wonders of winter. As you explore the canyon under the stars, you'll heighten your senses, appreciating the darkness, the fresh scent of pine trees, and the tranquility of a night spent in nature. One of the highlights is when the group turns off their lights, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serene stillness of a winter night.

As you navigate through the narrow, water-carved canyon, your small group will follow the guide along the path to the canyon’s lower falls. Suspended catwalks built into the limestone walls provide an easy and accessible route for everyone. Your guide will use a powerful flashlight to point out unique features along the way, and there will be pauses to embrace moments of darkness and quiet, enhancing the magical experience of being in the canyon at night.

At the turnaround point, your guide will shine light on the impressive ice formations encasing the flowing water. You’ll pass through a natural tunnel to a viewing platform right beside the magnificent Lower Falls. Enjoy a warm break with hot chocolate and a maple cookie while taking in the stunning frozen landscape around the falls.

On the way back, you can choose to turn off your headlamp and let your eyes adjust to the darkness. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your vision adapts, allowing you to travel through the pine forest guided only by the ambient light of the moon and stars above.
