Johnston Canyon is one of the most popular destinations in Banff National Park, and for good reason; it is a place of dramatic natural beauty accessible to most. It is particularly popular during the summer and at certain times of the winter. If you seek a more peaceful experience, try visiting Johnston Canyon during the spring and fall, or make the most of the long summer days by going in the early morning or mid evening.
The hike through Johnston canyon is very beautiful the entire way. It’s busy albeit, but worth battling the crowds for views like this.
Not far from Lake Louise, a trail leads you through Johnston Canyon, first to the Lower Falls, which you see here.

I see a few of these run around the Borough and seem to be very effective at sweeping up litter and rubbish.

I composed this image while visiting Johnston Canyon in Canada's Banff National Park. Johnston Canyon is a mostly accessible hiking trail that is visited by over 3M travellers annually.
* The Bow River Parkway is a very pleasant road from Lake Louise to Banff as you can drive slowly and pull off the road if you are minded . About halfway along is the entrance to Johnston Canyon. We had a decent hike along it the trail follows the path of the Johnson creek climbing steeply the sides of the canyon are sheer rock and without the construction of a metal cantilevered walkway by the National Park Service it would have been very difficult to walk up to the impressive lower falls
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

One of the beautiful waterfalls along Johnston Creek while hiking in Johnston Canyon, Banff, Alberta, Canada.
Johnston Canyon is a walking trail laid along the cliff wall, fenced with railing, consists of calcareous rocks. It flows along the bottom of the canyon, forming 2 large waterfalls: Lower Falls and Upper Falls, and several smaller ones. Carved steeply into the limestone bedrock by thousands of years of water erosion, the dramatic Johnston Canyon is a breathtaking natural attraction in Banff National Park. Overhanging canyon walls, waterfalls, the deep pools of Johnston Creek, lush forest, the sound of water hitting the canyon cave, mist in the air, fresh smell of pine woods…are sure to leave a memorable impression.

In 2000 it was still possible to find SD40-2s assigned to mainline stack trains, as thees two nice looking H1 repaints are doing on a westbound near West Glacier (Belton).
When attempting to shoot this scene of Johnston Falls, it came to mind how very happy I was my extra wide lens was safely behind in the parking lot. Ahhhhhhh! However, my 24mm just made it, and caught the scene from top to bottom.
When the sun also came out that wonderful rainbow disappeared. But, considering the long trek in, it was time to rest regardless. Soon the area clouded over again, and that wonderful rainbow returned.
The photo shows a fraction of a dry lakes system that has been referred to collectively as The Johnston Lakes. These lakes in southwest Western Australia are remnants of ancient drainage systems (Palaeochannels). About 160 million years ago, the Gondwanan super-continent was covered in rainforest. Giant rivers the equivalent of today’s Amazon ran west into the Indian Ocean and east into the Southern Ocean. Large flows of water incised channels into the bedrock and left broad valleys across the landscape. Aridity started to increase 21 million years ago, a drying trend that still continues today. As the surrounding land eroded away, the drainage channels filled with sediments, resulting in the saline playas that we see today. The Great Western Woodlands is now a dry place most of the time. There are no permanent streams or rivers, and even the extensive salt lakes are nearly always dry, and only centimetres deep when ‘full’. Chains of salt lakes now indicate where these broad river valleys once ran across the landscape. The photo is a drone panorama.
