Johnston Canyon Entrance

Highlight • Canyon

Johnston Canyon is a true gem and also one of the most popular spots in Banff National Park. A foot trail leads along the shore of Johnston Creek deep into a tall canyon. You explore beautiful waterfalls and scenic pools. The biggest waterfalls are Lower Falls and Upper Falls. So it is definitely worth to get off your bike and do a little hike.
