While Johnston Canyon’s Lower Falls draw most of the attention, those who continue to the Upper Falls are rewarded with a far more dramatic sight. After a 2.5 km hike (5 km round trip) along scenic catwalks and through lush forest, you'll arrive at the towering 30-meter waterfall plunging into a deep, blue pool below.
There are two viewing platforms: one at the base, where you can feel the mist from the falls, and another higher up, offering a spectacular aerial perspective. In winter, the falls freeze into stunning blue ice formations, making it a favorite spot for ice climbers.
For those looking to experience the best of Johnston Canyon, the Upper Falls is well worth the extra effort.
