Walking in a Winter Wonderland

December 12, 2011

Hiking up Johnston Canyon in the summer is a rite of passage for most
Calgarians, but have you done it in the winter?


Banff Adventures Unlimited offers a guided
ice walk
of the canyon along catwalks and past frozen waterfalls
including the grand finale arrival at the Upper Falls, all 30 meters of
which freeze to form the Cathedral of Ice. Tourists tend not to make the
trek in the chilly temperatures and the normally busy spot turns
tranquil. $62 gets you an experienced guide, ice cleats and hot
chocolate. The four-hour excursion leaves every morning and afternoon
from Banff hotels.

Bundle up and prepare for a breathtaking experience. Jaelyn Molyneux
