Photograph of sightseers standing at a view point and looking across the Bow River Valley in Banff and Banff National Park. A bare hilltop stands in the foreground at right. Several sightseers gather at the edge and look across the valley. Their backs are turned to the camera. Pines line the valley floor as it stretches into the distance. The Bow River flows through the valley at right. Tunnel Mountain rises in the distance at left. Larger mountains rise in the distance at right and in the far distance at center. Banff Springs Hotel is barely visible in the far distance at to the right of Tunnel Mountain.
This photograph appears to have been flipped horizontally when digitized.
