Two early automobiles are parked on a dirt road that winds through dense evergreen forest at Johnson Canyon, near Banff. A wooden signpost stands beside them, and a layered mountain peak rises beyond the trees. The scene suggests early auto touring in the Canadian Rockies, when Banff and its canyon scenery drew visitors to Canada's first national park. The card spells the name Johnson Canyon; the modern place is Johnston Canyon.
