Kootenay and Banff National Parks

A day trip to Kootenay and Banff National Parks took us across the provincial boundary at the continental divide. Vast resources and territory were at stake when BC and Alberta established the line between them. The exact route of the continental divide was scrupulously marked.

While in Banff NP, we went on a great hike through Johnston Canyon to several beautiful waterfalls. The canyon is so narrow that a lot of the trail is on catwalks.
