Johnston Canyon Lodge & Bungalows🏠🌲

Creekside cabins right at the Johnston Canyon trailhead. It's tucked away in the forest, quiet at night, and right in between Banff and Lake Louise. I love it for slow mornings on the porch, then an easy wander to the Lower and Upper Falls before most people arrive - beat the crazyyyy crowds that hit the canyon in summer. Its also been family owned since 1926!

✅ TIPS FROM DEV, LINKS & SAFETY

• The Bow Valley Parkway is a high bear activity area! Always keep your distance from wildlife, carry bear spray, travel safely.

• I would suggest getting up to Johnston Canyon early to skip the crowds, then circle back for coffee or lunch when you have finished.

• Would definitely check out renting an E-bike and exploring the Bow Valley Parkway. So much to see like Morant's Curve, Moose Meadows, Castle Mountain and more.

• Parks Pass: Parks Canada Pass Required
