Sun caresses Crowfoot mountain, reflected nicely in Bow lake.
Was a special morning enjoying this natural glory with dear flickr friends Jocelyn, Panta, Carlos and Manuel. Lots of laughter and learning. A morning to cherish and long remember.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

A closer view of this iconic falls basically in Banff township as it rumbles 30 feet over a low-gradient pitch of channeled bedrock.
Different perspectives in comments.
The Bow river begins 60 miles upstream as meltwater from the Bow Glacier, flowing south through Banff en route to the prairies and Hudson Bay far beyond.
The 1953 Marilyn Monroe film River of No Return featured the falls (the actual River of No Return is the Salmon river in Idaho).
Have a wonderful Friday and week ahead.

A telephoto shot from Sulphur Mountain of the impressive Banff Springs Hotel. Another destination to put on your itinerary when in Banff.
Bow Falls is right below the hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the interior is unique and fascinating. Don't be surprised if you end up spending the entire day here.
"The Banff Springs Hotel is a luxury hotel that was built during the 19th century as one of Canada's grand railway hotels, being constructed in Scottish Baronial style and located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The hotel was opened to the public on June 1, 1888.
The hotel is located within a spectacular setting in the Rocky Mountains, just above the Bow Falls and close to thermal springs. The main view from the hotel is across the valley and toward Mount Rundle, which frequently is cited in geology books for its exposed and tilted ancient seabeds."

Have a fabulous Friday and weekend!

First light on some of the Ten Peaks reflected in Moraine Lake. My soul was singing as I experienced this memorable morning. The air was crisp and chilly, all was quiet (the buses hadn't arrived yet; had it to myself) and the show was amazing. Still smiling from this special dawn.
A couple more shots from this lovely dawn in comments:
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
