    Tips

    This easy riverside path follows the shores of the Bow River, offering steady views of flowing water, cottonwoods, and wide gravel bars. As the trail opens toward the valley, you’ll catch a clear sightline to Mount Yamnuska, its dramatic east face rising sharply above the foothills. It’s a relaxed, scenic stretch ideal for walkers looking to enjoy the river corridor with one of Kananaskis’ most iconic peaks in the background.
