The Bow Falls Trail in Banff offers a scenic stroll along the Bow River, passing by roaring rapids and leading up to the impressive Bow Falls. With separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, this trail is perfect for a leisurely walk or bike ride. While it's an easy trail that rarely sees human-wildlife conflict, it's a good idea to be aware of it. The riverbanks are a popular spot for the elk to calve, and they can be very defensive of their young newborns at the start of summer.
