Bow Lake is another stunning lake and highlight of the Icefields Parkway (we'd say in top 3 stops with Peyto Lake and Columbia Icefield).

There are many photo opportunities and you can spot lots of wildflowers around the lake in the summer. This is also a starting point for some great trails in the area - like Bow Glacier Falls or Jimmy Simpson Jr.
