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.
