Stock photo: Railway Tracks Bow River Fairview Mountain Banff National Park Alberta Canada

Stock photo of railway tracks beside the snow and ice fringed Bow River during winter with Fairview Mountain and blue sky in the background, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada.

This stock photo includes railway tracks beside the snow and ice fringed Bow River during winter with Fairview Mountain (2743 metres/9001 feet) in the background, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada. Banff National Park forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the mountain shows formidable cliff bands from the lake, a hiking trail ascends to a saddle where a footpath leads experienced hikers to the top. A plaque is embedded near the rock bands above the lake warning not to attempt a descent on this side — while the way is initially easy, rock bands quickly change it to a technical descent. Numerous rescues have been made to retrieve stranded hikers who disregarded the warning.
