Just a stone's throw from downtown Banff, you'll find the beautiful Bow Falls, a wide, rushing cascade that's more about power than height. It's an easy 1.2 km stroll from the town's pedestrian bridge along a forested riverside path, perfect for a quick escape into nature without a major trek. Once there, you can feel the mist from the base or climb the stairs for a fantastic view from above—a spot made famous in a few old Hollywood films, including one with Marilyn Monroe.
