Bow Falls — Attraction in Banff

Bow Falls is a beautiful and easily accessible natural spot right in Banff. The waterfall isn’t huge in height, but it’s wide and powerful, with rushing water that makes for an impressive sight. There’s a well-maintained path and viewpoints along the river, so it’s an easy stop whether you’re walking from town or driving.

It’s especially nice in the morning or evening when it’s quieter and the light makes the water shimmer. The area is also rich in history—this is where scenes from River of No Return with Marilyn Monroe were filmed, which adds a fun touch.
