Johnston Canyon Lower Falls is a popular and stunning park located in Banff National Park. It's known for its short, easy hike that takes you through a beautiful mountain canyon with multiple breathtaking waterfalls along the way. The trail includes elevated walkways that allow you to walk right above Johnston Creek, giving you an exhilarating experience. One of the highlights of the hike is entering a dark cave that brings you up close and personal with the powerful Lower Falls. It's a must-visit spot for nature lovers of all ages and abilities, offering a unique and enjoyable outdoor adventure.

The trail would only take you about an hour to complete and it's 1.4miles (2.2km) long with a mild elevation. Please note that it is very crowded, if you would like more serene experience, please check out the Ink Pots trail which goes through Lower and Upper falls.
