[2025 Improvement District No. 9 ] Travel Guide for Hoodoos Trail (Updated Apr)

The Bow River is a river in Alberta, Canada. It is a tributary of the South Saskatchewan River and is considered the source of the Nelson River. There are many reeds growing on both sides of the Bow River. These reeds are used by local Indians and other indigenous people to make bows, so it is named Bow River. The picture was taken near Hoodoos Viewpoint on the Banff National Park on the Bow River. #OverseasTravel #CanadaTravel #NationalPark #RockyMountains #Forest #River #canadatravel #OutdoorPlaces

It was amazing to see the phenomenon in Canada!!! It may take a while to climb up but it all worth the time and effort to reach the top for the breath-taking views. Do geared up with proper hiking shoes given the trail is steep and slippery, in particular going down. Climbing up is still manageable but it takes much longer to get down. #familytrip #drumheller #triptocalgary
