Super beautiful hiking through the canyon to the lower and upper waterfalls. One of the main attractions in the Banff National Park and therefore very crowded. The paths are well developed and the slopes moderate.

Hiking

The lower Johnston Falls are very easy to reach, but a completely wet experience. Plan this trip as a "day off" or an easy start before moving on to more challenging destinations, as it really doesn't take much to get there and enjoy some beautiful views.

Hiking

The beginning of the path in the gorge is paved and easy to walk (about 1.1 km long) to the Lower Falls, a ten-meter-high waterfall.
