An incredible fairly short hike takes you away from the magnificent Bow Lake to the huge bowl beneath Bow Glacier. One steep climb between the two areas and then you will slowly ascend within the watershed towards the falls where the trail ends. Sweeping views back down the valley towards Bow lake.
Looking south across the vibrant Bow Lake, Crowfoot mountain is the large one on the right.
Bow Glacier falls with large patches of snow along the rock face under mostly blue skies.
The mouth of the creek flowing into the stunning Bow Lake. These affluvial dumps are great because there is such a distinct division between shallow and deep. Crowfoot mountain to the right.
A seasonal waterfall found along the trail with a very cool looking pocket cave formed beside it.
That would be so cool to see! That whole area around Abraham lake is great.
The morning we were visiting there were a pair of guys ice skating the LONG way across Abraham lake. I didn't have skates with me that day, but later was able to skate on a frozen Lake Louise.
