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.

Johnston Canyon is an impressive natural chasm in the heart of Banff National Park, a beautiful gorge shaped by the rushing waters of Johnston Creek. Over many thousands of years, the river has carefully carved out intricate and dazzling shapes from the soft limestone rock, creating a stunning natural spectacle. With its overhanging, high walls, draped in lush vegetation, Johnston Canyon is a true delight.

Huge thanks for the visiting, faves and kind comments! 🙏💕
I appreciated your stopping by. Happy Earth Day my dear Flickr friends! 🙏
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.
It was a busy location, and it wasn’t easy getting a spot to shoot from. I finally waited long enough to get this shot.
* 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).

So I just got back a few days ago from a solo road-trip up to Canada. I had snagged a campsite at Lake O'Hara back in April and have been eagerly awaiting the trip since. I spent 4 nights between Lake O'Hara, Banff, and Jasper. I went on glorious hikes and made about a million side excursions. I'll have more details written up later in an album description when I have more patience. In a nutshell, I had a blast despite a little bad weather and experienced incredible natural grandeur.
This location is along the super popular Johnston Canyon trail (there were hordes of people on the trail, almost making it unbearable for me). I knew about this little spot and had done a little research as to what to look for but even then, when I "found" the trail it was still a surprise to me since I wasn't 100% sure where it was. I was absolutely thrilled to have found it, and basically had the whole place to myself (there was a couple there doing some shots, but they were respectful and didn't detract from the splendor in any way) for a good 30 min or so. It is probably the coolest thing ever to see. And even though that rock looks like an island, it's just a matter of perspective and is actually a jutting, curved land mass.
This is also my first true HDR photo, and I think I did an alright job; no over-the-top glow effect or details. If you think I could do better, I would appreciate any advice since I am new at this and am really just sort of winging it.
I will have a ton of photos to post, but I won't inundate you with all of them at once, and I still have hundreds to go through. Just thought this would be a good start.
Cheers!
I am given a moment along the path through Johnston Canyon, to capture the fast running waters of the creek. It is a brilliant and vibrant blue color, reminiscent of the color of a popsicle I enjoyed in my youth. Lined with green foliage, the canyon is dark although the sun is high overhead.
Crowded with the throng of tourists all about, the moment comes and goes in the second it takes to capture the shot. Fortunately, one of the three taken includes the tree rising above the edge that contributes balance and offers depth to the image.
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.

Have a great Sunday.....thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!

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.
