Calgary - Bow River in Fall

The Bow River is a river in the Canadian province of Alberta. It begins in the Rocky Mountains
and winds through the Alberta foothills onto the prairies before joining the Oldman River.
The confluence of the Bow River and Oldman River form the South Saskatchewan River.
These waters ultimately flow through the Nelson River into Hudson Bay. The river runs
through the city of Calgary. The Bow River pathway developed along the river's banks
in Calgary is considered a part of the city's self-image.

First Nations peoples made varied use of the river for sustenance before settlers of European
origin arrived, such as using its valleys in the buffalo hunt. The name "Bow" refers to the
reeds that grew along its banks and were used by the local First Nations peoples to make
bows; the Peigan name for the river is "Makhabn", meaning "river where bow reeds grow".
