Customer Reviews
Visiting Johnston Canyon in the wintertime is always magical. Seeing wildlife, frozen waterfalls, crystal clear water, and breathing in the fresh air. Normally, I limit the photos I take and rarely use my phone while hiking, but this time I had to capture some of the views. Right now, it's a good idea to use cleats and wear boots for this hike, depending if you're going to the upper falls. It can be slippery in spots, so watch your footing. It's an easy hike to the lower falls, with alot to see on the way. There is always ample parking, except for the summer time, with bathrooms at the front entrance. You can't get lost here. Johnston Canyon is always worth stopping by, except for when it's crowded with tourists.
We visited Johnston Canyon today and it was an incredible experience. The snow and ice made the trail feel magical, and the frozen waterfalls were breathtaking. The path was well maintained, but during winter it can get very slippery. I definitely recommend bringing ice cleats or crampons for your boots because they make walking much easier and safer. The hike itself is not too difficult and offers amazing views throughout. If you enjoy scenic winter walks, this is a must-visit spot in Banff. Just try to go early in morning as it can get crowded.
Johnson Canyon (Upper and Lower Falls) is very popular, so you’ll see a lot of tourists, and the views are pretty good. But if you’re able to, I highly recommend continuing the hike to the Ink Pots. It’s only about 3-4 km farther, and the scenery up there feels like heaven. Just don’t forget to bring ice cleats, because the trail can get extremely slippery.
