DESCRIPTION

Start your day effortlessly with our expert tour guides offering a stress-free pick-up. Travel in style and comfort in our spacious vans 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 atmosphere. 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. Don't miss out on this amazing journey – join us for an adventure like no other!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Weather in the mountains is often unpredictable and forecasts can be misleading. During winter, we can experience almost every type of weather imaginable. From mild conditions to freezing cold, we see it all. Not to mention, it can be cloudy, foggy & snowy on our winter trips. With that being said, it’s common for the weather to change quickly, so if it’s cloudy & snowy, cross your fingers and in no time it might just be bright and sunny (and even still snowing) again.

We do our very best to avoid the large crowds to give you a more relaxed and intimate experience, but it’s not always that simple. Banff National Park attracts more than 4 million visitors per year, and both Lake Louise & Johnston Canyon are hotspots year-round.
