Located just steps away from downtown Banff, this quiet riverside trail is a great spot to enjoy in all seasons. The trail is mostly paved and considered an easy route. The walkway along the river is well marked with maps, routes, and local information. Plenty of benches along the river allow visitors to take a break and enjoy the view or stop for a picnic lunch. There are many access points to the river along sections of the pathway. The Bow River Trail in Banff, Alberta, Canada is the perfect place for both locals and visitors to take a break from busy downtown Banff.
The Bow River Trail in Banff, Alberta, Canada was well labelled for trail users. The warm temperatures had melted the snow on this part of the trail, making it less slippery than the snow covered parts of the trail.
The footprints across the river indicated that some people had ventured out across the ice. I decided to stay on the main Bow River Trail for my walk in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
Signs along the trail provided education and information about the area. This sign on the Bow River Trail provided information about boating on the Bow.
Benches and sitting areas along the Bow River Trail are a great spot to sit down, take a break, and enjoy the beautiful view of the the water and the mountains.
