Johnston Canyon is one of Banff National Park's most popular attractions. Visitors come to admire the canyon's gorgeous natural beauty, created by limestone and sandstone rock formations that have been carved out over millions of years. Here, guests can explore two majestic trails – one a leisurely walk along Upper Johnston Creek, featuring cascading waterfalls and foaming pools of turquoise water; the other an adventurous hike into the depths of the canyon, through narrow pathways and rugged inlets. Along the way, there are plenty of viewpoints, restaurant and cafe stops, and historic signs that tell the story of the canyon and its history. Whether you choose to take an exploratory trek or seek respite near crystal-clear waters, Johnston Canyon is a magical place for any nature lover.
