Bow River

Originating as meltwater from the Bow Glacier in Banff National Park, the Bow River transforms into a striking turquoise ribbon that meanders through the Canadian Rockies and the towns of Banff and Canmore. This river serves as a vital natural habitat for wildlife and several species of trout. Visitors can explore the area by hiking along its banks, paddling its waters, or casting a line for some fishing, all while surrounded by the rugged beauty of the mountains.
