Johnston Canyon

A free day today after three days of intense meetings and seminars... so off for a bit of fresh air ... I took the back road up to Lake Louise, and stopped at Johnston canyon.
From here I saw a trail up to the falls and on to the "ink pots" ... the bottom section to the falls was very popular, but I was alone on the top section, until I reached the ink pots - cold volcanic springs filled with mineral coloured water.
On the way down I passed some people who asked if I had seen any bears .. and wasn't I scared being on my own ... perhaps I should have researched before starting off, or at least told someone! - Note to self this is not the UK.
