Icefields Parkway - Hiking on Bow Glacier Falls Trail - Banff National Park - Alberta - Canada
Promenade des Glaciers - Randonnée vers la cascade du Glacier Bow - Parc National de Banff - Alberta - Canada
Coordonnées GPS: 51°40'42.7N 116°27'59.6W
Le sentier qui mène à la cascade du Glacier Bow débute à proximité du stationnement de l'établissement Num-Ti-Jah Lodge.
Le panneau de signalisation, érigé par Parcs Canada au début du sentier, indique que nous aurons à parcourir une distance de 4,6 km pour nous rendre jusqu'à la cascade.
Donc, une randonnée de plus de 9 km nous attend puisque nous reprendrons le même sentier pour revenir à notre point de départ.
La fumée des feux de forêt est toujours présente et assombrit le décor. Malgré ce fait, nous apprécions le paysage qui nous entoure.
Au début de la randonnée, le sentier longe les rives du lac Bow. Nous pouvons apercevoir le mont Crowfoot de l'autre côté de la rive.
L'eau du lac Bow est d'une belle couleur émeraude. Sa couleur était beaucoup moins intense lors de notre passage, étant donné les conditions météorologiques.
Nous venions tout juste de débuter notre randonnée lorsque deux personnes que nous avons rencontrées en sens inverse nous ont informés qu'il y avait un ours à proximité du sentier.
Nous n'avons fait que quelques pas et avons effectivement aperçu cet ours noir. Un petit groupe de personnes s'est alors formé et l'ours a décidé de s'enfuir dans la montagne.
C'est à cet instant même que les paroles de la chanson Stop ou Encore de Plastic Bertrand me sont venues en tête: Qu'est-ce que je fais? Qu'est-ce que je fais? Je m'arrête ou je continue?
Croyez-le ou non, nous avons décidé de poursuivre notre route en espérant que ce serait la seule et dernière fois que nous rencontrions un ours.
Non pas par bravoure, je vous l'assure, car nous étions à l'écoute de chaque petit bruit provenant de la forêt.
D'ailleurs, nous avons accéléré le pas pour sortir le plus rapidement possible de la forêt pour ainsi randonner dans la large plaine alluviale qui nous permettrait ainsi d'avoir une vision périphérique élargie.
Le sentier longe un ruisseau jusqu'à ce que nous arrivions à une série de marches que nous devons monter pour poursuivre notre randonnée jusqu'à la cascade.
Durant la montée, on peut d'ailleurs entendre à proximité une petite cascade s'écouler bruyamment dans un étroit canyon.
Après avoir monté cette série de marches, nous aboutissons en bordure d'un monticule qui permet d'apercevoir au loin la cascade du glacier Bow.
La randonnée est loin d'être finie. Cependant, le fait d'apercevoir la cascade nous donne un regain d'énergie.
Après avoir descendu le monticule, le sentier longe toujours le ruisseau, mais devient de plus en plus rocailleux en s'approchant de la cascade.
La cascade du glacier Bow est vraiment spectaculaire. Elle s'écoule le long des parois d'une magnifique falaise. Le décor nous fait réellement penser à un paysage d'Islande.
Son hauteur impressionne. Sa forme ressemble à un long voile de mariée. Plusieurs autres petites cascades s'écoulent également à proximité de celle-ci.
Le retour se fait dans le même sentier et offre des vues différentes mais tout aussi spectaculaires.
Je peux vous dire sans hésitation que cette randonnée fait partie des coups de coeur que nous avons eus durant ce merveilleux voyage dans l'ouest canadien.

A visit to BOW GLACIER FALLS in BANFF, Alberta
Shot during a short day hike out to Bow Glacier Falls on August 6th, 2017. Bow Glacier Falls is located just off the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper, Alberta, Canada.
Luckily, the nearby Verdant Creek wildfire wasn't sending smoke our way and we were able to truly enjoy the waterfall.

Banff NP Bow Glacier Falls Hike
An incredible hike off the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park! The scenery is amazing - a lake, mountains, glaciers and a beautiful, powerful waterfall. Very little elevation gain and 5.5 miles, it took us 2 hours 20 minutes with lots of picture-taking.
Bow Glacier Falls hike, Banff National Park, Icefields Parkway
We decided we needed a closer look at Bow Glacier Falls so we hiked up from the parking area at Ni-Tum-Jah parking area. It is a very fun hike with changing scenery and a beautiful waterfall to cap it off.

Bow Glacier Falls Hike, Highest Waterfall on the Icefields Parkway
August 31/2018
Bow Glacier Falls ar located 37 kilometers North of Lake Louise, along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park.
The hike is rated moderate and is 9.2 kilometers out and back, and has an elevation gain of 199 meters. I did this hike on August 31/2018. The temperature was 5 degrees Celcius, and the mountains had just received a dusting of snow, the previous night. According to the World Waterfall Database these falls are 505 feet tall (154 meters), and the largest in terms of height, and volume along the Icefields Parkway. Until you get close to these falls, you won't understand the shear magnitude of their size.
I welcome any comments you may have. If you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up. This is my 9th video, and if you would like to see my other videos, Subscribe to my channel. A new video every week. Next week I will be visiting Cresent Falls, in David Thompson Country, near Nordegg Alberta. CHEERS

4K Virtual Hike - Lake Louise to the Tea House (Lake Agnes) - Fall season
Subscribe and enjoy!
''Lake Louise, 2.4 km long, elevation 1731 m, is located in Banff National Park in southwestern Alberta. Lake Louise's outlet is a creek flowing into the Bow River. The Stoney called it Ho-run-num-nay meaning lake of the little fishes and it was a Stoney guide who took Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) workman Tom Wilson to the site in 1882. Wilson named it Emerald Lake, but the name was changed (1884) to honour Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of Governor General the marquess of Lorne.'' The Canadian Encyclopedia
''The Lake Agnes Tea House was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1901 as a refuge for hikers. Climb steadily on a forested trail, past Mirror Lake and the waterfall that cascades out of Lake Agnes, before arriving at the idyllic alpine waters of Lake Agnes and enjoying speciality teas and delicious homemade baking.
The family-run Tea House has no electricity or running water. Some supplies (such as flour and sugar for the baking) are flown in by helicopter at the start of the season, but all fresh food is packed up the trail by the staff.
The hike to the Tea House starts on the shores of Lake Louise near the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel and climbs uphill on a wide switch-backed path for 3.6 km (2.2 mi.). It is rated as a moderate trail and takes most people around 1 to 2 hours, more or less depending on fitness level. The elevation gain is 400 m (1,312 ft). ''banklakelouise.com

Virtual Hike: Bow River, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
#BowRiver #virtualhike #treadmillhike
A riverside hike alongside the Bow River, a turquoise-blue mountain river which runs through the vast wilderness of Banff. The hike begins a mile downstream from Lake Louise Village, reaching a wooden walk-bridge after about 1.5 miles downstream. Then the second half is a hike upstream along the base of the mountainside - an area known for grizzly bear activity. A hike taken in fall 2019 - this one is full of the colors of autumn.

Hike to Bow Glacier Falls, Banff National Park, August 2001
We did the long hike from the Icefields Parkway (& Bow Lake) to Bow Glacier Falls in 2001 and it was long but beautiful. My camcorder was on its last legs and kept fuckin' up and you'll see that in this but you still get a taste of what it looks like.
