Description

Set off for a “signature experience” in Canada exploring a frozen canyon in the heart of Banff National Park!

Head away from Banff on the Bow Valley Parkway scenic route. On the way, you might meet some moose, elk, coyotes or even wolves.

Named a “signature experience” by the Canadian tourist office, this hike will show you Johnston Canyon in the middle of winter. You will walk along metal passageways on the side of the wall. From these footbridges, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the canyon below.

Your guide will tell you all about the history and flora and fauna of the canyon.
