A few kilometers downstream of this location is Bow Lake, which is considered the headwaters of the mighty Bow River. It’s hard to believe such a tiny insignificant stream is responsible for creating a world-renowned trout fishery, and is a life source for majority of people living in Southern Alberta.
Arguably, this is the best part of the day; that little window of time when the sun has dropped below the horizon, and the air is still warm, the winds have died down, and you get that sense of tranquility before the night approaches.
