💧 Johnston Canyon in Winter: Ice Claws Required!

No crampons? ❌ DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! 😱 You’ll witness a “slip-and-slide” circus—trust me, you don’t want to be the star. 💦 📍 Banff’s Star Attraction: Johnston Canyon = family-friendly trails + dramatic waterfalls + towering cliffs. 🌊 📍 Who’s It For? All ages! 👶👵 Perfect for beginners. 📍 Highlights: Lower Falls: 2.3km round trip (1hr). Safe boardwalks, misty views, and kid-friendly caves! Upper Falls: 5.2km (2-2.5hrs). 💦 Steeper, but worth it for the icy winter cascade! Ink Pots: 11.7km (4-5hrs). Mystical turquoise pools hidden in the woods. 🚗 From Banff Town: 30-min drive to the trailhead. 📍 Lower Falls Trail: Easy wooden pathways = zero stress. 🛤️ The viewing platform puts you inches from the falls—kids will LOVE the cave tunnels! 🕳️ 📍 Upper Falls Trail: Get ready to huff! 😅 Steep but doable. The payoff? A frozen waterfall masterpiece. 📸 Winter tip: Ice claws = non-negotiable. ❄️ ‼️ Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Dress for Antarctica: Waterproof boots, gloves, scarves, hats. And CRAMPONS. 🥾🔗 (Ask me how I know… ) 2️⃣ Pack Light: Water, snacks, headlamp (for early returns). 💡 3️⃣ Sunset Alert: 🌄 Daylight dies by 4 PM in November! #BanffAdventures #JohnstonCanyon #WinterHiking 🇨🇦💧
