Landmarks
Calgary Tower; Peace Bridge; Historic Central Memorial Library; Scotiabank Saddledome; Prince's Island Park; Bow Building; Bow River; Canadian Rocky Mountains
Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from Crescent Heights Lookout (McHugh Bluff) looking south across the Bow River toward downtown and the Rocky Mountains, showing cottonwood branches and riverbanks in the foreground, Peace Bridge and downtown skyscrapers in the middle-ground, and the snow-capped Rockies rising in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick cottonwood canopies of Prince's Island Park, riverbank meadows, and spruce groves in the foothills.
