Banff National Park - Johnston Canyon

Well, we couldn't have picked a more perfect morning to go hiking through Johnston Canyon.  We managed to jump on the trail around 9:45/10am to avoid some of the tour groups (it's a very popular site, so plan ahead when visiting) and ensure we got some great views unobstructed.  While it was still a tad busy, everyone took their time with the very icy trail, as many people did not bring ice cleats. The views of the canyon were spectacular, and eventually made our way to the lower falls.





After another mile or so uphill, we ended up at the upper falls of the canyon.  There was of course already a good crowd forming at the top of the canyon.  Since I wanted to get a little close to the falls, I decided to hike down the side of the rock face (out of sight) and walk on the ice itself.  The views were breathtaking!





(Tried to climb in behind the falls for a shot, but did not want to risk breaking the ice and falling through)



So on our drive home from the hike, we managed to stumble across a large group of sheep, grazing in and around the highway.  There were so many, you couldn't help but stop to let them cross the road.  What a better excuse to snap a few pictures as they ran by!







Hope you enjoyed!  I still have plenty of shot to go through and edit, so check back soon!  Thanks.
