Johnston Canyon Evening Icewalk® - Moonlight Series

Experience Johnston Canyon beneath the night sky with our Moonlight Series, a special evening icewalk celebrating the moon, stars, and the quiet beauty of winter. With moments to pause and let your eyes adjust to the darkness, discover how moonlight transforms the snowy landscape. Feel the crisp evening air and breathe in the fresh scent of the pine forest as your guide shares stories of the seasonal moons, explains the lunar cycle, and helps you look for constellations when skies are clear. Follow the canyon trail to the lower falls, where icicles hang from cliff edges and frozen waterfalls form spectacular natural ice sculptures. Along the way, enjoy opportunities to experience the stillness of the canyon with minimal artificial light, taking in the sights and sounds of the wilderness after dark. Warm up with a hot drink and a classic Canadian treat—a Nanaimo bar—while listening to stories of the moon. Blending winter scenery, stargazing, and moments of quiet reflection, this special icewalk offers a memorable connection to nature beneath the night sky.
