As Johnston Creek approaches the Bow River, it flows through
a large canyon formed by erosion over thousands of years. The creek has cut
through the limestone rock to form sheer canyon walls, as well as waterfalls,
tunnels, and pools.
A popular hiking trail follows the canyon and leads to a
meadow within the Johnston Valley above the canyon. The first part of the trail
consists of a constructed walkway with safety rails and bridges, while the last
part of the trail is natural and more rugged. Within the meadow are the Ink
Pots, which are six blue-green spring-fed pools.
