Bow Lake is in Banff National Park, north of Lake Louise. There are many excellent hiking trails in this area, although we haven't explored many around the lake itself. We have headed east up the Dolomite Valley towards Helen Lake. This picture is toward the west from a parking area near the start of the trail, made just as we started one of our hikes. This is the north end of the lake with (from left to right) Portal Peak, Mt. Thompson and Mt. Jimmy Simpson in the background. The cliff at the far left belongs to Crowfoot Mountain.
Photography notes:
There is a lot of detail in the mountainsides, which makes this an excellent image for a large print.
