Johnston Canyon, Natural valley in Banff National Park, Canada

The canyon features a network of steel catwalks attached to limestone cliffs, leading visitors through passages with waterfalls and rock formations.

Water erosion carved this canyon through limestone rocks over thousands of years, creating deep channels and multiple cascading waterfalls.

The canyon serves as a primary location for ice climbing activities during winter months when the waterfalls transform into solid ice formations.

The Lower Falls trail extends 1.1 kilometers while the Upper Falls path reaches 2.7 kilometers, with both routes offering different viewing platforms.

Mineral springs known as the Ink Pots emerge from the ground in an alpine meadow, displaying various colors due to their mineral content.
