Bow Falls
Banff, Canada
Bow Falls is a powerful cascade located just outside Banff, where the Bow River tumbles over rocks in a dramatic display of nature. This 30-metre waterfall, flanked by rugged cliffs and dense pine forests, captures the essence of the Canadian Rockies and offers stunning views year-round.
A short walk from the town centre, the falls are best visited in spring, when the melting snow swells the river, creating a more robust flow. The area around Bow Falls is perfect for photography, and nearby, you can explore the scenic pathways along the river or visit the historic Banff Springs Hotel just upstream.
