  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.
