Johnston Canyon, Banff, British Colombia, Canada

Johnston Creek is a tributary of the Bow River in Canada’s Rocky Mountains. The creek is located in Banff National Park. As Johnston Creek approaches the Bow River, it flows through a large canyon, Johnston Canyon, formed by erosion over thousands of years. The creek has cut through the limestone rock to form sheer canyon walls, as well as waterfalls, tunnels, and pools. A popular hiking trail follows the canyon and leads to a meadow within the Johnston Valley above the canyon.
