点评:We found ourselves driving the Bow Valley Parkway multiple times during our Rockies road trip — and honestly, we loved it every single time. No two drives ever felt the same. Depending on the time of day, the landscape transforms completely, from soft morning light pouring through the pines to dramatic shadows stretching across the valley at sunset.
Wildlife sightings quickly became part of the magic. We spotted black bears, elk, and more than a few deer grazing along the roadside, making each journey feel like its own mini-safari.
What makes it even better is how close it is — just a few kilometres from Downtown Banff — and it also happens to be one of the most scenic routes to reach Johnston Canyon. If you’re exploring Banff, the Bow Valley Parkway isn’t just a road… it’s an experience you’ll want to take slow and savour.
翻译:在落基山脉自驾游期间,我们多次驱车行驶在弓河谷大道上——说实话,每一次都让我们流连忘返。每次的体验都截然不同。随着一天中不同时段的变换,沿途的景色也随之变化:从清晨柔和的阳光透过松林洒下,到日落时分山谷间壮丽的阴影。
野生动物的出现也很快成为了旅途中的一大亮点。我们看到了黑熊、麋鹿,还有不少鹿在路边悠闲地吃草,让每一次旅程都像是一次小型野生动物探险。
更棒的是,这条路距离班夫镇中心只有几公里,而且它还是通往约翰斯顿峡谷风景最优美的路线之一。如果你正在探索班夫,弓河谷大道不仅仅是一条公路……它是一段值得你放慢脚步、细细品味的旅程。
