Overview

Trek through Johnston Canyon to a world of frozen waterfalls and pillars of blue ice. Learn about the formation of the canyon and photograph the incredible pillars of ice as you walk through the canyon bottom and over suspended catwalks. Your guide leads you past waterfalls frozen in mid-stream for a close up view of the Lower Falls! Update: The trail between Lower Falls and Upper Falls remains closed from to late Fall 2022. Until Parks Canada reopens the Upper Falls section, we are offering a combination of Johnston Canyon Lower Falls and Marble Canyon. A short drive from Johnston Canyon into Kootenay National Park reveals a stunning slot canyon hidden within young forests on the western side of the Continental Divide. Enjoy the easy 1.5km walk along this remote slot canyon to peer down into its towering 40 meter drop. Includes professional hiking guide, transportation from Banff, ice cleats, trekking poles and hot chocolate & cookies.

Baby it’s cold outside and so worth it!

So much fun walking with the ice cleats. Lovely walk through the canyon and we even saw some folks climbing up the frozen water falls.

A Magical Walk through Johnston Canyon

Published on Dec, 2024

My wife and I had a great tour of Johnston Canyon with Scott as our guide. The ice-covered waterfalls were spectacular and the hike through the canyon was wonderful. Scott made the trip special. He was very friendly and personable and also knowledgeable about the area. He was attentive to the group and made sure to check on us (toes and fingers too cold?) and make sure he kept a pace comfortable to all of us. We highly recommend Scott and White Mountain Adventures for an icewalk through Johnston Canyon.

Beautiful day!

Sam was an absolutely outstanding guide! His knowledge of the canyon’s plant and animal life, as well as its history - both physical and human - were the foundation of a very enjoyable tour that he customized in some special ways. He is a fantastic people person. Highly recommended!

Breathtaking

Great experience and breathtaking trail during Canadian winter. Matt has been professional and entertaining. I strongly suggest this experience!
