Bow River

The Bow River is Calgary's main waterway. It flows from the mountains and is quite a torrent when the snow melts. I last recall it from over 30 years ago in high summer. As you can see, this picture was taken whilst I was still being driven through the snow on the plains, though getting close to Canmore.

Whenever I saw this river I recalled the Cold Chisel song, 'Bow River' (I'd seen them play earlier this year), so that was my internal soundtrack for this part of the trip.
