Ink Pots - Johnston Canyon - Wildlife Encounter

Distance: 17.5 km Elevation gain: 782 m Time on trails: 5 hours 40 min Snow completely changed our original hiking plans, so instead of scrambling up a mountain, we chose a different adventure — a winter hike to the stunning Ink Pots in Banff National Park.I had wanted to visit the Ink Pots for a long time after seeing breathtaking summer photos, and I was curious to experience their unique beauty in winter. Our hike began with a peaceful walk through a snowy forest filled with wildlife: we met some squirrels and a grouse. Then along the way, we had an unexpected standoff with a ram. Thankfully, it decided to move off the trail after a moment of careful observation. When we finally reached the Ink Pots, the scenery felt almost magical. Even though parts of the springs were covered in snow, the fairytale-like atmosphere only made the place more beautiful and serene. With some daylight left before sunset, we continued our adventure to Johnston Canyon, a first-time visit for Klara. The canyon is undeniably spectacular, but the crowds made it feel less enjoyable. Returning toward Moose Meadows, the quiet forest trail felt like a much-needed escape from the busy tourist area. Ink Pots is definitely going on my list of hikes to revisit in summer for a more relaxed experience. As for Johnston Canyon — it’s beautiful, but I’m not sure it’s my kind of hike. If you love winter hiking in the Canadian Rockies, Banff trails, this hike is for you. #InkPots #JohnstonCanyon #BanffNationalPark #BanffHiking #CanadianRockies #AlbertaHiking #HikingCanada #WinterHiking #SnowHiking #RockyMountains #ExploreAlberta #MountainHiking #VisitBanff #ParksCanada
