Panorama On Johnston Canyon`s Upper Falls With Ice Climbers , Bow River, Alberta Canada Stock Image

During the winter months December to April, Johnston Canyon is a favourite place to go ice walking and ice climbing. The Upper Falls at 1565 metres above sea level freeze during the winter and make for excellent beginner and advanced ice climbing. Although ice climbing might sound rather daunting, with proper instruction complete beginners can climb simple routes - if you can climb a ladder, you can climb a frozen waterfall! Guided trips and instruction are available from several providers in Banff and Lake Louise.
