Johnston Canyon

Johnston Canyon was our guests’ most requested stop, and it’s now part of our tour year-round. We give you time to explore the canyon’s catwalks, enjoy the waterfalls, and stop for photos along the way. In winter, frozen waterfalls and snow-covered canyon walls offer a different perspective. Your guide will explain the route and current trail conditions so you can make the most of your visit. Summer visit: 90 minutes. If Johnston Canyon is closed for safety or maintenance, we’ll visit Marble Canyon instead.

Moraine Lake

Moraine Lake is a place we love sharing with our guests. Join your guide for a short hike up the Rockpile to enjoy views across the lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. If you prefer a gentler pace, explore the lakeshore or settle into a quiet spot to take it all in. We’ll explain your options and help you make the most of your visit, with access and direct transportation taken care of. Seasonal stop: Opens June 1, with Parks Canada’s scheduled road closure on October 13. When Moraine Lake is closed, we visit Surprise Corner and Castle Mountain Viewpoint instead.
