Fun afternoon canoe trip!
This was the most beautiful relaxing choice to be on the Bow River. Our guide did a great job in guiding our canoe and we were able to relax and soak up the sun and the scenery. They were very efficient and safety conscious. We would recommend this experience. One of my favorite things we did.

8️⃣🌲2️⃣5️⃣🏔️2️⃣3️⃣ BANFF CANOE We delved deep into the Banff National Park and admired the scenery from the water on this canoe adventure. We paddled along the beautiful Bow River while we were amused by our guide Mitch, as he sheds lights on Canadian history and heritage.
