+8 photos
Step aboard our cozy shuttle for a peaceful journey through the awakening landscapes of the Canadian Rockies in spring. To begin, your adventure starts with pickups from the charming towns of Canmore and Banff, nestled at the foot of these majestic mountains. To keep you refreshed throughout the journey, complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate will be provided on board.
Before we continue to Lake Louise, we’ll make a stop at the Lake Louise Village, where you’ll have the opportunity to grab lunch or snacks, stretch your legs, and browse the local outdoor gear shop. Whether you’re picking up trail essentials or relaxing in one of the cafés, it’s a great moment to soak in the mountain village atmosphere before heading into the wilderness.

Participants should be fit and healthy enough to hike the trail at Johnston Canyon, as the paths can be icy and uneven, especially in winter. The hike to the Lower Falls is 1.2 km one way with a 50 m elevation gain, taking about 1 hour round trip. This section includes some gentle inclines and a series of narrow walkways suspended along the canyon walls, offering stunning views of the icy creek below. You’ll pass through a short, low-ceilinged cave to get an up-close view of the frozen waterfall. For those continuing to the Upper Falls, be prepared for a longer, more challenging trek of 2.5 km one way with a 120 m elevation gain, which takes approximately 2 hours round trip. This section features steeper inclines, switchbacks, and additional lookout points with panoramic views of the towering ice walls and snow-draped forest. Ice cleats and hiking poles are provided for better traction, but sturdy, insulated boots are highly recommended. Please dress warmly and be prepared for cold, snowy conditions.
