Johnston Creek (Alberta)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnston Creek is a tributary of the Bow River in western Alberta, Canada.
It originates in the glacial valleys of Banff National Park at the feet of Cascade Mountain, and flows through a series of gorges with seven cascades to the confluence with Bow River, south of Castle Mountain, between Banff and Lake Louise.

A popular hiking trail follows the gorges, and the Ink Pots, a series of ink-coloured spring-ponds are found above the headwaters. Ice climbing is done on the frozen waterfalls in winter.
