The Bow River and Falls

We used the Gypsy Guide to help us learn about Banff.  The last time we were here we did not know about the Gypsy Guides and we did not really learn much about Banff, but this time, we decided to do as much as we could with the Guide.

One place we had not visited was the Bow River and the Falls.  The Guide took us right to the Falls and the viewpoint.  The falls were not terrifically high, and they did not seem particularly rough - I think a good kayaker or rafter could probably traverse them pretty easily, though I know nothing about either and could literally be all wet.  Nevertheless, we enjoyed seeing the falls, and though they were not the most spectacular falls we have ever seen, they were beautiful in their own right.

Then we went to a place called Surprise Corner, which gave us a beautiful view of the Banff Springs Hotel and the mountains surrounding it.  This area of the country is gorgeous, and we are lucky to be a part of it.
