Banff Stargazing & Johnston Canyon Frozen Falls Night Walk

About this activity

The winter night rush.

Head out as the valley goes dark. Crunch through Johnston Canyon under headlamps, then step into the open as the stars stack up overhead. Snow underfoot, cold air, and quiet all around while your guide helps you pick out the constellations.

For anyone who wants the Rockies to feel bigger than the daytime ever allows.

★ Banff's top-rated tour provider, with 5,000+ five-star reviews and four Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice awards.

Highlights:

❄ Frozen waterfalls lit by your headlamp

❄ Steel catwalks and huge icicles along the canyon walls

❄ The Milky Way over Vermilion Lakes

❄ Mt. Norquay viewpoint and, if you're lucky, the northern lights

❄ Hot drinks and a sweet treat to warm up
