Today, we headed north on the Bow Valley Parkway, straight up into the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Scenic vistas abound throughout its length! 
Thanks to Bob and Perri's suggestion, Johnston's Creek was today's destination. A trail leads through the canyon to the Upper and Lower Falls opposite sheer cliffs alternating with equally sheer drop-offs.
We hiked as far as the Lower Falls, 1.1 km or 0.7 miles, a minor challenge for those accustomed to sea level.
Saw a small herd of elk on the return trip - one was to close it brushed up against the passenger side mirror - Luke maintained his composure BTW. Photos were taken at actual size, not with zoom!
Quiet evening at the Hi Alpine Center hostel - no wi-fi, so we watched Get Smart, which is loaded on Luke's laptop.
