It all started last August, on our way out to hike Helen Lake. After arriving we were met by Park officials who informed us that “due to Bear activity” the trail was closed for the day. What a disappointment, especially after planning this trip for some time! They then suggested heading to Bow Lake, which was a short drive away. Now I’ve been out there before a couple of times, but have never done any real hiking in the area. One thing that has always stood out to me about Bow Lake is the gorgeous Turquoise water, and the ice cold clear water. Here are a few pics:

Beautiful. That water is so clear. Does anyone dive that lake?
I don't think so. They may not allow because its inside a national park.
Beautiful view sir thanks a lot for sharing
If only the rest of the world were just as lovely. Blessings
Many compliments for the proposed shots.
Glad you liked them.
