Itinerary description

This time we do the trail from Bow Lake to Bow Fall, where we take a shortcut to reach the path up to Bow Hut, with the only drawback being that we have to cross the river without much difficulty. Once we reach the Bow Hut path, the path climbs little by little through a wooded area along the riverbank until we leave the forest and the rocky area of the moraine begins, which the glacier has left behind as it retreated, and so on. the uphill path that turns right to climb up to Bow Hut, where we rest for a bit and continue a bit higher to reach the base of the nearby glacier. We return by the same path directly to Bow Lake.
