MARBLE & JOHNSTON CANYON ICEWALK COMBO
Start your day with an easy, guided one-hour Icewalk atop secluded Marble Canyon in British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park. Peer down the deep, narrow canyon walls to crystal-clear cascading waters as they make their way to the Pacific Ocean.
Enjoy a chance to warm up in our vans as we take a short drive to our next location at Johnston Canyon. Crossing the continental divide back into the province of Alberta, our guides lead you on a second easy one-hour Icewalk in Banff National Park’s most popular hiking attraction at Johnson Canyon, with waters flowing eastward all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
A world of frozen waterfalls and pillars of blue ice awaits as you walk through the canyon bottom and over suspended catwalks. Your professional guide leads you past waterfalls frozen in mid-stream, and through a short tunnel for a close-up view of the Lower Falls!

Book Private Tour"I would like to highly recommend White Mountain Adventures if you want a highly interesting and informative interpretative tour of Banff. Our tour was personalized and jam-packed from the get-go. It never felt rehearsed or forced. Our tour guide's enthusiasm and passion for nature and conservation were palpable and really enthused us on a cold, but beautiful, morning. Any questions we had were met with keen knowledge and the entire trip felt relaxed and friendly." Olivia T.
