Banff
This Friday the 13th brought lots of rain, so we decided to go for a hike. The Johnston Canyon is very well known and a must see. So we joined many other folks that arrived early to get a place to park.

This was a very beautiful climb along the river to the lower falls. A side trail got us to a short tunnel with a close-up view of the falls. We continued another mile up the trail to, as you might guess, Upper Falls. All the pathways were well maintained and many sections were suspended out from rock canyon walls or suspension bridges. Very pretty! After a couple hours or so, we returned to the pick-up rather wet from the rain. The rain jackets were great, but the pants took a direct water hit! All in all, totally worth it!
After drying out, warming up, and eating a little we went exploring again. This time we stayed mostly in the vehicle. Tunnel Mountain Drive was interesting as was the Mount Norquay Ski resort. We still had time so we captured a few pictures and looked for birds at Vermilion Lakes. |
