For anyone who has hiked the Bow Glacier Falls trail and the Bow Summit Lookout trail, is there one you prefer? I'm trying to decide between the two when I visit in early October. Thanks for your input!

I did both, and enjoyed it, over the course of a day. The falls trail was beautiful and tranquil in the morning. We went all the way to the falls. As we enjoy feeling the power of the glacier melt, it was great to walk all the way up to the drop. The Peyto Lake lookout would probably suffice to see Peyto lake and the valley. It just depends on how high you want to hike. We hiked up from the tourist lookout. The trail bends right as you leave the boardwalk. It is well worth seeing. The Bow Summit would just be going higher up. Only reason to do it is if you like elevation and enjoy a more strenuous hike. Hope that helps.

I would suggest just walking partly around the lake, not the entire trail. The first part is fairly flat and beautiful maybe 1/2-1 mile in. Take your pictures and turn around. It's worth it. It gets a little more difficult after that. Enjoy!
