Johnston Canyon Ice Walk
What is it? Johnston Canyon Ice Walk, operated by
Discover Banff Tours. Where is it? Banff, Alberta When can you do it? Spring and winter months. Why will they love it? This tour
gives visitors to Alberta the chance to take a four-hour adventure through frozen canyon landscapes. Clients are equipped with ice cleats
and trekking poles to hike into the canyon. Crossing steel walkways built into the canyon walls they get stunning views of the canyon below and walk through a natural cave to view the lower frozen falls with its gigantic pillars of ice. Operated in small groups, the tours
are led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who helps them explore the mysteries of the ancient rock and explains how this incredible canyon was formed. This is also a prime wildlife habitat
so walkers should also keep an eye out for moose and big horn sheep. If they are really lucky they may also spot the local Bow Valley wolf pack. This type of personalised tour gives visitors an up-close way to experience the awe and wonder of the Rockies. It's an authentic experience, perfect
for those looking for a little soft adventure and gives a real insight into the pristine wilderness and amazing geology of the surrounding region. Combined with the post-tour hot chocolates, this is an experience sure to provide memorable moments and provides a great contrast to scenic
sightseeing or days whizzing down the nearby slopes. Recommend to non- skiers too as it is an ideal way to experience the wonders of winter without the challenge of wintersports. Learn more:
