As the snow melts from the surrounding peaks and creates a magical scene. If you drive the parkway in June, you’ll be able to see the weeping wall at its finest.
If you look towards it, you’ll see water cascading down in a series of waterfalls, essentially “weeping.” The biggest one is called “Teardrop.” You can see it on your right as you drive from Banff to Jasper along the Icefields Parkway. The Weeping Wall is a set of cliffs at the base of Cirrus Mountain. The best part about this trail is it’s pretty quiet compared to nearby Johnston Canyon, so if you’re allergic to crowds, this would be a great choice. The Banff waterfall is 50 meters tall, and in the summer months, it’s pretty impressive. The trail follows along Silverton Creek until it reaches the Silverton Falls viewpoint. This short hike to Silverton Falls follows an old dirt road on its way to Rockbound Lake (a harder Banff hike) but splits off for a quick detour to Silverton Falls. The hike will take you between 2-4 hours and is 8.7 km with 266 meters of gain. Some websites claim you can see the falls from Bow Lake, but they are pretty far back there, and it’s an obstructed view so I would highly recommend making the hike.

It’s a wonderful hike in the summer and gives Icefield Parkway drivers an excellent excuse to stretch their legs. Follow the trail all the way around the lake and continue up the stairs and through the meadow. Walk past the Num-Ti-Jah Lodge to the right of Bow Lake. It’s a fairly simple hike to get back and see Bow Glacier Falls. The meltwater from the Bow Glacier and Wapta Icefield cascades over Bow Glacier Falls and into Bow Lake. If you’ve come across Bow Lake in Banff and wondered where all the water flows from, it’s a short hike away.
