What To Expect
Johnston Creek originates north of Castle Mountain in a glacial valley southwest of Badger Pass and south of Pulsatilla Pass, at an elevation of 2,500 meters (8,200 ft). The creek flows southeast between Helena Ridge and the Sawback Range, and then south through a gorge known as Johnston Canyon. 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.
Vermilion Lakes
The Vermilion Lakes are a series of lakes located immediately west of Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The three lakes are formed in the Bow River valley, in the Banff National Park, at the foot of Mount Norquay. The area offers wildlife viewing opportunities and breathtaking scenery. Offering spectacular views of Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain, the proximity of these lakes to town make them a fantastic place to watch sunrise or sunset.

5.00Hovin was an excellent guide. The scenery was hard to describe accurately as it was so beautiful. We enjoyed the hike at Johnston Canyon and the waterfalls. Going through Banf was interesting to experience the vast amount of traffic. The Two Jacks Lake and Minnewanka Lake were very beautiful. It was a wonderful tour and our most unusual new knowledge was the Hoodoos! Thanks again!
ALEX is a wonderful tour guide, and BANFF is stunningly beautiful

5.00Alex made the tour very comfortable and worthwhile for us. He was very friendly, answered all our questions, and was very flexible with our requested spontaneous stops - to view wildlife and grab a coffee at Tim's (of course!). The highlight of the trip was the Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, although the visits to the various Lakes were beautiful as well. Personally, I think your company is lucky to have Alex as a tour guide- he is very service oriented and did everything he could to keep us happy on our tour. Thanks for the memories of Banff!!
