We try to go to Johnston Canyon at least twice a year. It is beautiful, and lots of places to take amazing pictures. However, you would think that the extremely icy trails could be better maintained throughout Apr/May. It would really only take a little salt/rocks in a few places to make the hike a million times easier for everyone.... More

We did this hike in mid January 2013. We got lucky 12 Celsius and not a cloud in the sky. We went later in the day, passed a few people on our way up, other than that it was basically just the five of us. Spectacular day for this adventure. Please beware in the winter it is very slippery. I... More

About a half hour drive out of the town of banff, many photo opportunities, bathrooms on site. Very beautiful, you can decide just to go to the lower falls or the upper as well, was very slippery because everything was melting. We only went to the lower falls where there is a small tunnel you can go through. It is... More

The four of us decided to go on this hike. It was very icey due to spring conditions but very fun. You might slip on your bum, but you will not get hurt. Great time, lots of cheap fun

This is such a wonderful place. It's the second time we have made the hike. Once in November, covered in new snow fall, and now in April, covered in ice (yes, you need spikes on your shoes). We did not know we would encounter ice, so in our hiking boots we went. The trail is fabulous though. There are short... More

Trail conditions in early April are highly changeable but the day I hiked you did not need crampons except in a few spots. Deep tread hiking boots recommended. Small children may struggle to keep their footing. About 35-45 min to the lower falls and 10 min more to the upper. Trail beyond climbs rapidly and turns away from the river... More

Wow! you must must must see this when you are in the Banff National Park, so beautiful! it's a nice long walk on a slim bridge up the sides of mountains, through caves and you come to this most wonderful waterfall, so beautiful, this is a must see for sure! you will never forget this!

What a beautiful place this is. the snow filled caverns and the ice walk amazing (We did this on our own). The prestine waters which flow from here are amazing unbelievable how clean the snow and water are. The Icicles which form on the side of these mountains are amazing. The walk was some what of a challege getting there... More

My husband and I booked this adventure. Hugh Johnston was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was an excellent trip
