Ink Pots

Nestled in a clearing within Banff National Park, the Ink Pots are five natural springs of vibrant turquoise water, surrounded by subalpine forests and the towering Rocky Mountains. Accessible only via a popular and scenic hiking trail through Johnston Canyon, these bubbling, swirling pools offer a serene and visually striking experience. The trail, while busy, rewards visitors with a close-up view of the clear, colorful waters and the lush, forested landscape. Timing your visit carefully can ensure a more peaceful encounter with this natural wonder.
