If you want to hike on a mild to moderate elevation rise, and
like the idea of seeing a whole series of waterfalls then consider
driving 20 kilometers (15 miles) west of Banff to amazing Johnston
Canyon. The self guided interpretive trail will lead you up the
canyon. See the effects of rapid erosion and learn why the canyon
is eroding so quickly. If you travel to the end of the trail,
5.5 kilometers you find the "Ink Pots" where 6 cool
springs bubble out of the ground year round. Glacial sediments
are behind the beautiful aqua colors. Bring lots of film for this
hike.
