Looking towards Bow Glacier and Bow Glacier Falls
On 10 August 2013, I went with friend Sandy to Bow Lake, in Banff National Park. It is located along Highway 93, the Icefields Parkway, said to be the most beautiful, scenic highway in the world. She had seen a tiny Liverwort (non-vascular plant) maybe a week earlier on a different trip and wanted to go back to check it at a later stage, and asked if I'd like to go with her. How lucky I am! She had hoped that it might be a particular rare species, but as it turned out, it wasn't. Still an interesting species to add to the list of flora and fauna for the area. Just before turning off into the parking lot for Bow Lake, we had stopped to look over the lake and to view the Crowfoot Glacier. It's located 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Lake Louise. After that, we walked very slowly along the Bow Glacier Trail, which runs along the right hand edge of Bow Lake, but didn't continue as far as the Falls. You can just make out the Falls below the glacier in the far distance. I had only ever once been to Bow Lake and that was 30+ years ago, but I had always longed to go back. This lake is the source of the Bow River, which is the main river that runs through Calgary.
