Flowing through the broad Bow Valley beneath Door Jamb Mountain and Loder Peak, this stretch of the Bow River feels open and far-reaching, with views toward the limestone walls above. The river moves steadily around gravel bars and willow-edged banks that often draw elk, deer, and occasional raptors. From the trail, it becomes a constant point of reference — a wide, blue-green corridor reflecting the rugged peaks rising across the valley.
