Johnston Canyon
(Attractions & Activities - Great Views)
Banff National Park Bow Valley Parkway (Hwy 1A)  T1L 1K2 • 403-762-1550
Distance: ~5.605 km from The Fairmont Banff Springs
        Description: This canyon, about 15 miles from Banff, is known for the seven waterfalls that tumble along its course. The limestone canyon is crisscrossed by boardwalks, providing close-up views of local vegetation. At about a 4-hour hike from the highway, the Inkpots are a collection of springs found in the vicinity of the canyon. Thanks to mineral sediments, they're colored an unnatural, but beautiful, blue. If you want a quicker jaunt, some of the lower falls are a much closer walk – less than 2 miles from the road.
