Lunch in Canmore, the water was rushing down the mountain in the distance.

Johnston Canyon
While we were visiting Calgary, the bears at home were down in the forest. Who knew? Happily, there weren't critters here in Johnston Canyon.
It is a beautiful spot, as well. We didn't do the entire walk, it was busy, and this was long enough, a km up to the Lower Falls.
Walter Camp purchased the Johnston Canyon Teahouse in 1927.
They discovered six more waterfalls upstream. In 1974, Parks Canada replaced wooden bridges and the trail sees a million visitors each year, they say. There is no admission fee, so I don't know how they track us...
There were people of all ages, dogs, kidlets, families, groups of friends, selfie sticks, photographers with tripods, all hiking along.

Fencing at Johnson Canyon used to be very unsafe until some kid fell over and was killed. It was replaced after that.
You should compile the photos into a slideshow with captions and music. It's worth the effort and helps the viewer to enjoy the scenery as a whole.
I can imagine the noise a flood of water would make rushing down that narrow gorge. What great walkways, and kids in back packs, others with a dog. And snow there in the distance, maybe it never melts, even in summer.
Magnificent landscapes, and what a river to hike along!
Oh Canada! Johnson Canyon's beautiful!
Yes epic and amazing and beautiful.
All the best Jan
