Outstanding

The trip to the Rocky Mountains in eastern and western Canada has been completed. The lakes and mountains in the Rocky Mountains are so beautiful that people can't help but linger. I want to start with the "lakes", but it always takes "lakes and mountains" to show its overall momentum and beauty. The first article is Bow Falls, which became famous because the American movie star Monroe's movie "The River Flows East" was filmed here. Although it is far inferior to Niagara Falls, it is the first stop in the Rocky Mountains.

Bow Falls attraction highlights

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Bow Falls is one of the beauties of Banff, a well-known tourist city in Canada. The Bow River is a long river flowing through Banff National Park. The scenic spots here are beautiful and its name has two origins. One is that the river flows from west to north along the mountains north of Banff, forming a bow shape. It is due to the dwarf pine trees that the Indians used to make bows and arrows growing along the river banks. Bow River Falls is world-famous because of the filming of the movie "The Great River Goes East" starring Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s.
