Johnston Canyon and on to Revelstoke

En route to Revelstoke, we stopped at Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park.
We packed the kids up into the stroller, told Chris we didn't need rain gear, and off we went. It was absolutely beautiful. The path was narrow and busy with people, but it was so worth the stop.
The lower falls were just over 1km away and the upper falls were just under 2.5km away. So we started our trek.
The rain started on our walk to the lower falls. But it was a very refreshing and much needed rain. It did not let up.
Pictures don't do justice for how amazing the view of the lower falls was. We spotted the stairs going to the upper falls and decided that that route wasn't going to be for us since we had the stroller and we were already soaked in rain. We made our 1K hike back to the parking lot.
Unfortunately for us, we froze our butts off on the next trek to Lake Louise. Don't worry, the kids didn't get wet on the walk, so they weren't quite as cold as us.
We stopped for a delicious korean/japanese dinner in Golden. The only downside to that outting was that our crew had a major case of the spillies. 2 full glasses of water and a bowl of soup fell victim to us.
We had a long winding, dark drive to Revelstoke. And for the night, we stayed at the Frontier Motel.Read more
