Descripción General The Johnston Canyon Icewalk is one of Banff National Park’s most popular winter attractions. This guided hike takes you through the canyon’s stunning frozen landscapes along steel catwalks built into the canyon walls, leading to the breathtaking Johnston Canyon Upper Falls.

The adventure begins with a gentle walk to the Lower Falls, where you can wander through a natural cave to admire the frozen waterfalls. The cascading icicles in the winter sun and the serene beauty of the canyon’s formations create a magical experience. The hike continues to the Upper Falls, a towering 30-meter pillar of ice that is the highlight of the tour. From viewing platforms, you’ll enjoy stunning perspectives of the falls and the gorge below, with ice climbers often seen scaling the frozen columns.

Throughout the hike, your guide will share stories about the history of Johnston Canyon and the surrounding wildlife. You’ll be traveling through a prime wildlife habitat, with the possibility of spotting elk, deer, or other animals.

This unforgettable winter experience is perfect for anyone looking to explore Johnston Canyon’s frozen beauty.
