Your adventure begins with a drive to the starting point of your glacier hike in Marble Canyon.

You'll then go to your second destination back in Banff National Park: Johnston Canyon, Alberta. Here, you'll go for a second ice walk in Johnston Canyon. This canyon is a must-see in Banff National Park. A world of frozen waterfalls and pillars of blue ice awaits you!

During these two ice walks from Banff, you'll be accompanied by a guide who will show you the natural sites of interest along the trail. Transportation to and from Banff is also included, and you can enjoy hot chocolate and cookies to warm you up after your winter journey.

It was lovely only the two of us and the guide. We went in the morning and it was literally empty in Jonson Canyon. Scenery was amazing would definitely recommend. Easy pick up and let us know what the day was going to look like.
