Description
A view of the beauty of the Bow River which runs through Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Rafts at a landing await their occupants for a float trip down the river. This gives the viewer a taste of the incredible beauty of the Canadian Rockies are. Is it any wonder so many folks visit this magnificent area of North America?!
*************
From Wikipedia: The river's source is from the Bow Glacier, which is part of the Wapta Icefield. The outflow from this source flows into Bow Lake in the Canadian Rockies. It flows south to the village of Lake Louise then turns east and flows through the town of Banff then through Canmore. The Ghost Lake reservoir is formed upstream from the town of Cochrane. The Bow then flows eastward to the city of Calgary; it continues on to form the South Saskatchewan River when the Bow joins with the Oldman River near Grassy Lake in southern Alberta. Its waters are further shed in the Hudson Bay through the Saskatchewan River, Lake Winnipeg, and Nelson River.
********** The wonderful color of the water is caused by fine sediments called "rock flour" floating in the water. Rock flour is fine powdery rock that has been crushed and ground by a glacier.
