The film set location for Marilyn Monroe’s River of No Return.
The Bow Falls, situated in Banff, Canada, is a major waterfall along the Bow River in Alberta just before it meets the Spray River. It is wide and short in appearance but still beautiful nonetheless - you may feel some mist during the mid-summer due to the high water levels but be treated to a spectacle as you glimpse across the valley that was eroded by glacier activity and the Bow River over the years. In the vicinity sits the Banff Springs Hotel as well as the world renowned golf course on the left hand side of River Road. These facilities are well in walking distance away from the falls, so certainly do drop by for a visit if you happen to be in the area. Interestingly, the 1953 film River of No Return starring Marilyn Monroe featured the Bow Falls!
