We took a day off from snowboarding to visit some of the sites surrounding Banff. We drove to Johnson Canyon, approx. 25km from Banff to check out the Upper and Lower Falls.
There is a cantilever catwalk to the falls, which was in pretty good condition. We didn't need snowshoes or ice cleats.
There are many smalls falls along that way that in themselves were pretty impressive.
The Lower Falls are a 1.1km hike, with an elevation gain of 30m.
The Upper Falls were 2.7km from the carpark, with an elevation gain of 120m.
You can really appreciate how big they are once Sean is in the photo too.
There were a couple of guys Ice Climbing when we got to the Upper Falls, so we had a chat with them and stayed around for a bit watching.
Panorama!
