DESCRIPTION

Start your day with our expert tour guides offering an easy pick-up at your preferred location in Banff, Canmore & Harvie Heights. Travel in style and comfort in our luxury SUV or spacious tour van as we make our way to the wonderful Johnston Canyon.

The hiking at Johnston Canyon takes you through a winter wonderland, with scenic trails leading to the Lower Falls, where frozen icicles and ice formations create a magical sight. Enjoy your guided hike to the lower falls and either return to the vehicle for included hot chocolate, tea or coffee, or continue your hike to the Upper Falls, where you'll be rewarded with stunning views of towering ice sculptures and the incredible snow-covered canyon. It's a breathtaking adventure through one of the most beautiful spots in the Canadian Rockies, perfect for unforgettable memories and photos.

Following on from our Johnston Canyon visit, we'll make the short journey and arrive to the doorstep of Banff's neighbour, Kootenay National Park. We'll cross over into Kootenay in British Columbia to visit Marble Canyon - this is one of our favourite sights in the area and a very underrated winter destination. We'll spend some time here traversing over the canyon before finding a worthy reward up at the top.

We'll then enjoy the return journey to Banff, Canmore & Harvie Heights.
