Have you seen Johnston Canyon #banffnationalpark in the winter?????
🏔️👣🚌
Travel Tip: The highway to Johnston Canyon has been closed for a while now, but the COOL thing is our friends @banfftours offer a guided ice walk - which takes you along steel catwalks built into the canyon walls all the way to the iconic frozen upper falls. So they can officially transport you to the Canyon and bring you back to the #CanaltaLodge

If your booking with #Banfftours mention our promo code "Canalta20" for 20% off this and many other tours they offer!

Snowshoeing is such a great way to burn some calor

Snowshoeing is such a great way to burn some calories and see some terrain you can't get too with regular winter boots! Have you tried it and what's your favorite trail?
🏔️
DIY: Prime time for snowshoeing is typically late December through early April and conditions are best after a recent snowfall.
BUT Don't forget that avalanche season in the mountains extends from November to June - so make sure you are prepared.
❄️
Designated winter trails follow portions of summer hiking trails but not all sign-posted destinations are safe for winter travel.

If you're thinking about trying it out here's some trail etiquette that can be useful to know:
- Trails are shared in the national park, which means you could see people fat biking while you are winter hiking, or people skiing while you are snowshoeing.

- The track set portion of the trail is for classic skiing only. The flat, groomed lane is for other users.

- When climbing, please yield the right of way to descending skiers and fat bikers.
If you fall, move off the track as quickly as possible.

- When taking a break, step to the side, leaving room for others to pass.

- Leave no trace. Pack out everything you pack in.

- Read the trail descriptions as dogs are not permitted on certain trails. Keep dogs on leash and under control at all times.

Happy World Wildlife Day! The best time of the ye

Happy World Wildlife Day!

The best time of the year to see wildlife in the #canadianrockies are during the slower tourist seasons of spring, fall and winter. This is when many of the animals move to lower elevations and near towns for mating rituals or food - So chances are you might come across some wildlife when visiting Banff right now!
🏔️
If you do, remember these 5 EASY tips from #parkscanada:

1. Do not approach wildlife - stay 30m (3 bus lengths) away from elk and 100m (10 bus lengths) away from bears.
🐻
2. Do not feed wildlife, this is unlawful in a national park and is addictive to the animals.
🐿️
3. Remain in your vehicle when viewing wildlife from the road (use a telephoto lens to get that 'perfect' picture) and quickly continue on your way.
🦌
4. Keep your campsite clean by keeping all attractants in your vehicle - coolers are not bear proof and even dishwater and dog food will attract an animal.
🐺
5. Stay on designated trails - unofficial trails are often used by wildlife.

Winter might be cold, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun!
On the colder days, a really great activity to try is cross country skiing. When the temps drop, this sport keeps you moving and warm. There are tons of trails nearby for all levels and if you don’t have the gear, there are plenty of places to rent throughout the Bow Valley, like our friends @snowtipsbactrax & @banffadventures
