    Tips

    October 27, 2025

    The Bow River flows from the glaciers of Banff National Park through Canmore, Calgary, and the prairie plains beyond, shaping much of southern Alberta’s landscape. Along its course, well-maintained trails follow the river through forests, parks, and wide valleys, offering endless hiking opportunities and scenic viewpoints.

    Known for its turquoise water and steady current, the Bow River is both a natural landmark and a lifeline connecting the mountains to the plains.
