Today was an unusually sunny and mild end of February winter day. We were looking forward a fun snowshoeing day, but found out that there is really little snow in the mountains this year for snowshoeing at all.  So we settle for a short hike around Johnson Lake. The trail is relatively flat and scenic with just a few dips to negotiate around the lake. Johnson Lake can be accessed on the exit from the TransCanada Highway in Banff National Park, via the Lake Minnewanka exit. We are familiar with the area because we camped on the popular Two Jack Lake Campground last year. Another great spot to hike.
