Overview
Johnston Canyon Lodge and Bungalows offers a truly immersive national park experience — rustic heritage cabins tucked into the forest right at the base of Johnston Canyon, one of the most popular hiking trails in the Canadian Rockies. There are no TVs or phones in the cabins, and that's entirely the point. You'll fall asleep to the sound of the creek and wake to birdsong and mountain air. Select cabins feature wood-burning fireplaces, and the on-site restaurant serves hearty mountain meals using local ingredients. This is a seasonal property open from May through October, making it a cherished summer tradition for families who return year after year.
