8/01/2010 Johnston Canyon & Banff Hot Springs

This morning we got up and listened to church service online. After we had breakfast and then went on a hike in Banff National Park. It was through a huge canyon called Johnston Canyon. There were catwalks and slick rock and it was so cool. Along the trail we met several small furry friends again. We were reallysurprised at how many people had their dogs on the trail. We are glad our two stayed home this trip though, it would have been so much more work to have them with us. My favorite part of the hike was at the very end of the trail where we could walk out on a cat walk to the bottom of a huge waterfall. It was awesome and we got sprayed from the falls. Right at the end of the hike, it started raining and we had to run to our cars. We were going to go to the hot springs afterward and decided to go and see if the rain cleared up. When we got there we had a bite to eat at the cafe. I must say that Ben and I shared a meal of teriyaki chicken and rice and it was surprisingly GREAT! ... I was really hungry! We enjoyed the hot springs for a little over an hour and then had to evacuate because a little kid got sick in the pool. Luckily we weren’t close at all, but everyone had to get out of the pool for cleaning. They closed the pool for an hour so we decided to call it a day. We headed back to the campground for showers and an evening snack. Actually it was suppose to be supper but it was around 8:30-9:00 when we got home. Afterward, we called it a night.
