Bow Falls is a major waterfall on the Bow River, Alberta just before the junction of it and the Spray River. They are located near the Banff Springs Hotel and golf course on the left-hand side of River Road.
The falls are within walking distance of both Banff and the Banff Springs Hotel, so they are visited by many tourists despite their relatively small size.
Surprise Corner
惊奇角(Surprised Corner)，可以远观班芙溫泉大饭店与弓河河景，设有观景台方便大家观看与拍照。由于班夫溫泉大饭店不对外开放，所以惊奇角的拍摄点就显得尤其重要。 班夫温泉酒店(Fairmont Banff SpringsHotel)，拥有一百多年历史的城堡酒店。依偎在雄伟的落基山脉之间，脚下静卧着清澈的弓河(Bow River)。 从这里，还可以一目了然多面十多公里以外的维多利亚雪山和露易丝湖，以及雄伟壮观的温泉城堡酒店，更能俯瞰整个班夫国家公园的游客中心全貌。 你可能还会觉得这个地方有点熟悉，原来这里也是 "断臂山＂的外景拍摄地之一
Hoodoos
Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 meters tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged. The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands. The Hoodoos make a great stop on the way to the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site in East Coulee.
