From the location where the hoodoos are viewed, there is also an excellent view over the Bow River valley.
The Bow River is a 623 kilometre long river in the Canadian province of Alberta.
The headwaters of the Bow River are in the Rocky Mountains north of Banff National Park. The Bow River flows through the mountains, passing the small town of Banff where it falls 10 metres at Bow Falls.
The Bow River is important for irrigation, for energy production and also as a source of drinking water, it is also an important habitat for fish.

The surrounding higher mountains can also be observed very well from here.
