Bow Falls

Bow Falls is a wide, low waterfall on the Bow River in Banff, just above its junction with the Spray River and near the Banff Springs Hotel. Riverside paths from the town centre lead to viewpoints at the foot of the falls. The falls appeared in the 1953 film River of No Return with Marilyn Monroe.
