Bow Valley scenery

Mountains near Banff The Bow River as it travels down the valley.  Waters in this area head to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.  The Continental Divide runs right through the province and divides the watershed into the three drainage basins. The hill in the foreground is Sulphur Mountain and lies behind Banff.  The Banff Gondola runs along the east side of the mountain (the back side as you look at it).  The Bow River is in front. This picture is the Bow River in the foreground and a Banff City park behind.  The picture is taken from the bridge that connects the two sides of the river and the two parts of the city.
