Bow Valley Parkway

The 48 km (30 mi.) long Bow Valley Parkway to Lake Louise offers an alternative to the busy TransCanada Highway. Viewing points, camping and picnic sites as well as stopping-places with information boards make it possible to get to know the charming countryside of Bow Valley and to learn more about its geology and topography. Towering above it all is Castle Mountain, whose Eisenhower Peak is 2728 m (8950 ft) high.
The Bow Valley Parkway also offers a great chance to see some of the wildlife in Banff National Park.
