Description
5.7 km one way to the Ink Pots from trailhead
Elevation gain 330 m, elevation loss 140 m
4 hour round trip
Trailhead: Johnston Canyon Day-use Area
Travel in the depths of the canyon on wide trails and narrow bridges with railings that lead to the Lower Falls and to the spectacular 30 metre-high Upper Falls. For a unique perspective, continue 265 m further to the viewpoint at the top of the upper falls. Beyond the falls, a trail continues up and over a forested ridge to a meadow where water bubbles from deep below the Earths surface into shallow pools called the Ink Pots.

It's quite a walk there, but once you get out of the forest it's a fantastic view of all the mountains reflected in the small multi colored water ponds. Bring a lunchpack and a bear spray.
