Located just steps from the heart of Banff Townsite, Bow Falls is a spectacular and easily accessible natural wonder. The rushing turquoise waters of the Bow River cascade dramatically over ancient rock ledges in a powerful display of raw natural energy. Surrounded by dense forest and framed by the iconic Banff Springs Hotel in the distance, it makes for an unforgettable photograph. The falls were famously featured in the classic film The River of No Return starring Marilyn Monroe. A short, scenic walk from town makes this a perfect stop for all ages and fitness levels. Simple to reach, yet endlessly impressive — Bow Falls never disappoints.
