Bow Falls is a picturesque waterfall located just minutes walk from downtown Banff. At 9 meters high and 30 meters wide, the Bow River cascades over a dramatic rock ledge in a thundering display of natural power. The falls gained fame from appearing in Marilyn Monroe's 1954 film "River of No Return." Accessible via a beautiful riverside trail along the Bow River, it is perfect for an evening stroll with stunning mountain backdrop. The viewpoint offers excellent photo opportunities year-round.
