Bow Falls Given the ease of access of this falls, it was quite busy as tour buses would routinely stop and drop off its load of tourists at the large car park. But even with all this said, we almost wasted time on the opposite side of the river (where there's the Bow Falls and Hoodoos Trail) where I don't think you can get a clean view of the falls. However, we were able to get contextual views of the hotel near the falls. Rundle Ave eventually merges into Bow River Ave, which ultimately leads to the large car park for the falls. The mistake that we made earlier (to get to the other side of the river) was that we followed the GPS and ended up taking Buffalo St (prior to crossing over the bridge over Bow River). Unless you're doing other excursions, this is the wrong way to go for the falls.
