What To Expect
Bow Lake
Bow Lake is one of the most beautiful glacier-fed lakes along the world-famous Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Surrounded by towering mountain peaks, hanging glaciers, and dramatic alpine scenery, the lake is known for its crystal-clear turquoise water created by glacial melt from the Bow Glacier. Located at an elevation of over 1,900 meters, Bow Lake offers breathtaking panoramic views and incredible photo opportunities throughout the year. During summer, visitors can enjoy peaceful lakeside walks, wildlife sightings, and reflections of Crowfoot Mountain on the calm water.
Crowfoot Glacier
Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint is a spectacular roadside stop located along the Icefields Parkway near Bow Lake in Banff National Park. The viewpoint offers incredible views of the famous Crowfoot Glacier, which hangs dramatically on the side of Crowfoot Mountain. The glacier was originally named for its unique three-toed shape resembling a crow’s foot, although one “toe” has gradually melted over time due to natural glacial retreat.

5.0010/10 — I would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area! Matilda was an incredible tour guide and did an amazing job sharing her knowledge while making the experience fun and memorable. The highlight of the day was definitely hiking Parker Ridge. The views were absolutely spectacular and unlike anything we’ve ever seen. From start to finish, the tour was well organized, enjoyable, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Matilda, for such a wonderful experience!
