Bow Falls

Bow Falls is located within Banff National Park. It is not known for its vertical drop, standing only about 10m high, but it spans several dozen meters in width. The river flows over layered rock beds, churning with white waves and roaring as it cascades down, with the sound audible from far away. The 1950s film *River of No Return*, starring Marilyn Monroe, featured a thrilling scene of a raft going over the waterfall that was filmed here. Since then, this once low-profile waterfall has become a must-visit spot for movie fans and tourists. During the summer snowmelt season, the water volume is abundant, with rolling white waves and a thundering sound. In winter, parts of the waterfall freeze, with rushing water and icicles coexisting.
