Alberta Photos Bow Lake, Banff National Park Previous Photo : Photo Index : Next Photo Banff National Park is the jewel of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The park has a spectacular mix of rugged peaks, turquoise lakes, forests and glaciers. The hiking is excellent and the easy access to scenery makes it a park for all. This scene at Bow Lake shows off the glacial meltwater. As it runs down from the icepack it picks up 'rock flour' that is held in suspension, producing the vivid colouration.
