Day 27 - Johnson Canyon Trail

What would likely be our last hike of the holiday, we chose to go back to Johnston Canyon which was the first hike of our last holiday!

We set off up the canyon path with led up alongside Johnston Creek. The path was made up of walkways which ran alongside the walls of the canyon and led us up past a few waterfalls and through the forest. It was a busy trail, and apparently is the most popular in Canada, but thankfully once we reach the top the crowds began to thin.

We continued on from the top of the canyon up another trail towards a place called the 'Inkpots' which are a six pools of water which are fed from underground springs and have a particularly vivid blue colour to them. These are set in a wide meadow area surrounded by mountains; a view which made the climb worth it!

We had our lunch at the Inkpots and then set off back down the trail. Once we'd finished, we returned to Banff to have a quick walk around and then on to get our tea.
