This stock photo shows some massive ice formations on the Upper Falls along the Johnston Creek during winter, Johnston Canyon, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada. Banff National Park forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. Johnston Creek is a tributary of the Bow River in western Alberta, Canada. It originates in the glacial valleys of Banff National Park at the feet of Cascade Mountain, and flows through a series of gorges with seven cascades to the confluence with Bow River, south of Castle Mountain, between Banff and Lake Louise. A popular hiking trail follows the gorges, and the Ink Pots, a series of ink-coloured spring-ponds are found above the headwaters. Ice climbing is done on the frozen waterfalls in winter. This photo focuses on the gorgeous ice formations created when portions of the waterfall freezes in winter.
