6 July 2013, Alberta: Johnston Canyon

Another rainy day in Lake Louise was the stimulus to leave town and head to Banff. We took a bath in the upper Banff hot springs and then hiked up by the two sets of waterfalls in Johnston Canyon.

Clark’s Nutcrackers were found all around Lake Louise, either being hand fed by tourists or trying to unexpectedly sneak up on someone to share their lunch. I also took some photos of the peaks above Lake Louise along the Plain of the Glaciers Trail.
