Bow Falls Trail

"Bow Falls Viewpoint: 1.7 miles (easy) The trail begins in the town of Banff, just at the south base of the pedestrian bridge across the Bow River. It follows through a forested area along the Bow River and there are some nice viewpoints along the way of the river and surrounding mountains and benches to enjoy the scenery. The trail is mostly flat though there are some wooden stairs to climb. It includes local art (paintings and sculptures) along the trail. The trail ends at a platform overlooking the Bow Falls. It is a quick and pretty trail to do within walking distance from the center of town. "
