Bow Falls

Bow Falls is a waterfall on the Bow River in Banff National Park, Alberta, near Banff, the Banff Springs Hotel, and the point where the Bow meets the Spray River. Though relatively small, it is one of the park’s best-known river features because it is easy to reach and set dramatically below the mountains. Its broad, powerful drop has long made it a popular stop for visitors staying in town or at the nearby hotel. The falls also hold a place in film history through their appearance in the 1953 Marilyn Monroe movie River of No Return, and they remain a heavily visited landmark.
