Water cascades into this narrow canyon in the heat of summer, but in the winter the thundering falls freeze solid to create natural ice sculptures. Johnston Canyon is one of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park and has a network of steel catwalks built into the canyon walls that allows you to walk right along this cathedral of ice with airy views into the gorge below. As you do, you’ll get to wander through a natural cave to gaze down at the flowering waters of the lower falls. Continue onto the awe-inducing upper falls - a glittering tower of ice that rise 30 metres above your head. These gigantic pillars of ice are the tour highlight and ice climbers can often be seen scaling the frozen columns. This popular guided icewalk will lead you past the lower falls and on to view the breathtaking upper icefalls from the upper deck. You will also travel through prime wildlife habitat to reach the falls and learn the clues to how Johnston Canyon was formed.

Our guide Tim was friendly and very informative. The walk itself was relatively easy and was made extra special by the freshly fallen snow that morning. Although late in the season for the ice walk, there was still plenty of ice about. Spectacular views all the way.

Went on an "icewalk" hike through Johnson Canyon mid-April 2025. The snow/ice has melted some, but it's still very picturesque! Thank goodness for those ice cleats, which are supplied by the tour company, as we'd come across some inadequate footwear and witnessed a nasty fall. Jeff, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. Really provided a really enjoyable trip! If you have your own cleats, it's very easy to hike up yourself - it's a set path, not difficult at all (save when there're too many people, you need to squeeze a little because of narrow walkways in some areas - with two-way traffic). Join the tour for a bespoke experience of hiking with locals who know the area well, and listen to the local stories/history they genuinely love to share with everyone.

We were picked up in a comfortable minibus from the designated pickup point, our guide 'Geoff' was very knowledgeable and on the way to Johnston Canyon spent some time discussing local wild life and land marks. Geoff brought ice cleats for our boots which were invaluable as the walkways were still covered in ice and very slippy. I am not sure we would have completed the walk if we were just wearing trainers. Geoff tailored the pace of the walk to the group and we walked to upper falls. The falls themselves had partially melted and were spectacular.
