Johnston Canyon's Walking Path for Hikers of All Levels

The walking path through Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park offers a scenic and immersive hike through one of the most popular natural attractions in the Canadian Rockies. Carved by the flowing waters of Johnston Creek, the trail winds through a dramatic limestone gorge, featuring a series of elevated catwalks and footbridges that hug the canyon walls. These pathways allow hikers to experience the canyon’s narrow passages, cascading waterfalls, and turquoise pools up close. The journey to the Lower Falls is an easy 1.2-kilometer (0.75-mile) walk, perfect for families and casual visitors, while continuing to the Upper Falls extends the hike to 2.5 kilometers (1.55 miles) one way, with moderate elevation gain and stunning viewpoints. For those seeking a longer, more tranquil adventure, the trail continues another 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) to the Ink Pots, a series of colorful, spring-fed pools in a peaceful alpine meadow. Open year-round, the trail transforms in winter into a frozen wonderland, though icy conditions call for proper footwear. Johnston Canyon’s path offers a safe, accessible, and visually rewarding experience for hikers of all levels during summer or winter. Johnston Canyon Home
