Upper Falls of Johnston's Canyon

These are the Upper Falls at Johnston's Canyon. They are probably fifty or sixty feet high. Don't quote me on that, as I am just estimating in my head. They are absolutely beautiful to look at. There are two places to view them from. There is a platform above to look at them straight across to the top, looking down. This photo was taken from the lower platform looking around the cliff at them.

The hike was long, and our muscles and joints ached from the continuous climb. We rose approximately 120 metres in elevation over the course of two or so hours. We saw about three and a half miles of Johnston's creek meandering it's way down through the canyon. In about four places the creek broke up into actual water falls, and in the end the journey was worth it, and we were rewarded with this awesome sight.
