Johnston Creek is a tributary of the Bow River in Alberta and it originates in the glacial valleys of beautiful scenic Banff National Park, so the water that flows through here at all times of the year is cold. Although tourists and visitors are welcome here, Banff National Park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it is protected ground and cannot be developed or changed.
