A Magical Walk through Johnston Canyon - My wife and I had a great tour of Johnston Canyon with Scott as our guide. The ice-covered waterfalls were spectacular and the hike through the canyon was wonderful. Scott made the trip special. He was very friendly and personable and also knowledgeable about the area. He was attentive to the group and made sure to check on us (toes and fingers too cold?) and make sure he kept a pace comfortable to all of us. We highly recommend Scott and White Mountain Adventures for an icewalk through Johnston Canyon.

Beautiful day! - Sam was an absolutely outstanding guide! His knowledge of the canyon’s plant and animal life, as well as its history - both physical and human - were the foundation of a very enjoyable tour that he customized in some special ways. He is a fantastic people person. Highly recommended!

Johnston Canyon icewalk - This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Scott was very professional and had a great knowledge of the area. The supply of snow cleats made our hike a lot safer. The hot chocolate and cookies were just what we needed at the end of our hike. The canyon was breathtaking.

Professional guide - I joined the tour with a fun group from Mexico along with two other young ladies. The views of the canyon and falls were beautiful. Our guide Sam made the trip really fun by engaging with everyone. White Mountain Adventures, you are very lucky to have her!
