What is Bow Falls known for?
The vista on display below the torrent of Bow Falls exemplifies the wild diversity of the Rockies. Rocky canyon turns to rushing falls and then to serene river, gliding off down the Bow Valley. The setting is one made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film The River of No Return, and it's no less dramatic today.

The Bow Falls are about one kilometer outside the center of town. A wide walking trail and boardwalk leads along the Bow River to the falls and it makes for one of our favorite walks around town. What is this? Visitors can also ride a bike or drive to the small car park at the base of the falls.
