BAD TRAVELS

Trailhead is on Hwy 93 N, 36 K north of Lake Louise. Magnificent mountain scenery along the drive. The falls are meltwater from the Bow Glacier in Wapta Ice Field which fills Bow Lake and overflows into the Bow river. Check out the BLOG!

Mountain and lake scenery on 93 North, on the way to the trail head.

Bow Lake, the arrow is pointing to the falls in the distance. That’s our destination.

On the trail

Loved this view

Almost at the Bow Glacier Falls

From this perspective you can’t even see the glacier up above the falls

We got right up beside these falls….

And had to feel the water…it was by far, THE COLDEST water I’ve ever felt. Our fingers tingled for at least 5 minutes after!

The water works it’s way through the rocks

And then back out into the open area on it’s way back to the lake

Walking back, the mosquitos were brutal on this hike, even in the open areas like this.

All the lakes here are such a beautiful colour!

First and only time I saw this flower during our time here. No idea what it is?

The Crowfoot glacier at a lookout on the way back home.

Zoomed in on the glacier and you can actually see the cracks in the ice and how blue it is
