Johnston Canyon

Inside Banff National Park is Johnston Creek.  As the creek approaches the Bow River it flows through a large canyon that was formed by erosion as it cut through limestone rock.  The canyon features sheer canyon walls, as well as several waterfalls.  Today I hiked up through the canyon. The Canadian park system installed catwalks along the canyon walls, so it was a pretty easy hike.  This is the last day that we will be at our present campground.  Tomorrow we cross over the Canadian Rockies and travel from the eastern side of the mountains to the western side of the mountains.
