美丽的山城(八):强森峡谷 - 上帝的杰作
强森峡谷(Johnston Canyon )在班夫以北约20公里的车程, 是另一个上帝, 鬼斧神工,巧夺天工的杰作.
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 he 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.
Ice climbing is a popular activity on the frozen waterfalls in winter.
