Johnson Falls day trip. From the first time we explored the Falls a few years back, it's often a desire to head back. This time, the heat was out and a quick dip would be rather relaxing. Headed toward the Pine Lake portage, ditched the canoe/paddle, and started the long hike to Pine. At Pine, we headed west on the Johnson Falls trail. Met up with a gentleman and his daughter who we saw entering Canoe from Alder after sunset. Glad they found the last remaining campsite on Canoe. The Falls were running at their summer time low, which meant a nice long soak under the falls.
