Waterfalls

Johnston Creek features two main waterfalls:
Lower Falls: A short, powerful cascade with a bridge and a tunnel leading to a viewing area.
Upper Falls: A taller, more dramatic waterfall with platforms for incredible views.

Johnston Canyon Erosion and Geology from Johnston Creek

The creek flows through the canyon's narrow limestone walls, creating natural pools, overhangs, and caves. The erosive power of the creek has sculpted the canyon's iconic winding shape.

Ink Pots

Beyond the Upper Falls, Johnston Creek feeds the Ink Pots, a collection of aquamarine and green pools formed by underground springs. These pools sit in a tranquil meadow with views of surrounding peaks, showcasing the creek’s journey from higher elevations.

Johnston Creek's Seasonal Beauty

In summer, Johnston Creek flows swiftly, fed by glacial melt and mountain springs. In winter, the creek partially freezes, creating dramatic ice formations on the canyon walls, making it a popular destination for ice walks. Johnston Canyon Home
