The day after arriving in Canmore and Banff (from Calgary), we drove up the Bow Valley Parkway to Johnston Canyon, only some 10,000 years old. The hike through Johnston Canyon is unique, much of the "trial" consists of metal walkways bolted to the side of the canyon walls so that you walk along and above Johnston Creek. The trail is pretty much level with one beautiful view after another just on the other side of each turn. There are several falls along the trail.
The afternoon was mostly cloudy, what sun there filtered through a heavy canopy of leaves. That made for the opportunity to take longer exposures of the smoothly flowing creek, capturing the mood perfectly. Of course, with all the photographs, tripod setups each time, I was taking my time along the trail, and enjoying myself immensely.
