We are from Louisiana flew out of Houston Texas. This was the end of October of this year.... when I’m done with this review I’m actually booking our room at The Malcolm Hotel for October 2020 we are going back to Canada and can’t wait. Highly Recommend

4/5 - Good

With so many other gorgeous lakes, falls and scenic spots, this one isn't spectacular. However, with that said it was still a nice stop off just outside of Banff.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Beautiful walk by the river and falls. Tourist busses, so do it early. From Fairmont into edge of town. Easy with only a few up and downs.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Find Bow lake. Park past the lodge/meeting place. The trail head for the falls is marked with a TINY sign. We didn't actually get to the falls because of time involved. We had other places we wanted to see.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice gentle hike along the Bow River from the Falls. Great views of the Falls and River.
