Alberta spot named most Instagram-worthy winter wonderland in Canada
Alberta is bursting with beauty and one spot in Banff National Park has been named the most Instagram-worthy winter wonderland in Canada.
The travel experts at SkyParkSecure have revealed the 10 most Instagram-worthy winter wonderlands across the globe, and Johnston Canyon placed second in the world.
Johnston Canyon is a mere half an hour from the Banff townsite and provides some pretty stellar dramatic natural beauty.
The waterfalls are nestled inside a steep canyon that provides a frosty, snowy backdrop to explore and marvel at. It’s an essential little hike to do in the winter, we have done it and it’s surely a spectacular experience.

Lake Placid in the US was crowned as the most insta-worthy winter wonderland with 396,000 posts, with Johnston Canyon netting 86,000.
