Hike the boardwalk at Johnston Canyon to the lower
falls and the upper falls for a glimpse at a world
of frozen waterfalls, pillars of blue ice, and a
chance to see ice climbers in action. The easy
walk leads us along the bottom of the canyon and
over suspended catwalks to the Twin Pools and the
Upper Falls amphitheater. We will NOT be
proceeding beyond the Upper Falls to the Ink Pots.
