One of Banff's iconic photospots!🚂🏞️

I'd be surprised if you haven't seen a picture of this spot online. The Bow River bends round a big curve, with train tracks hugging the bank, and the peaks towering behind. On a lucky day, a long Canadian Pacific train steams through and the whole scene comes alive. If you are really determined to see a train though, just wait and one will come soon enough lol.

✅ TIPS FROM DEV, LINKS & SAFETY

  • Best light is early morning or late afternoon.

  • Stand behind the fence and stay off the tracks.

  • The Bow Valley Parkway is a high bear activity area! Always keep your distance from wildlife, carry bear spray, travel safely.

  • Parks Pass: Parks Canada Pass Required
