Bow Summit viewpoint overlooking Peyto Lake Review of Bow Summit Reviewed July 29, 2017 via mobile A steep path hike to the Summit but worth it. No pain, no gain. A little crowded but I get it, it's a very beautiful place so a lot would like to see it. I just hope mgt will add more parking. It's hard to look for parking.

Bow Summit is a popular hike, but not as popular as its precursor, Peyto Lake viewpoint. You may feel discouraged when you see the crowds, but as you continue you will leave them behind. This is an excellent way to see glaciers, lakes, rivers and peaks from a height without a full-day excursion.
