What to Expect
Pass by: Banff National Park
Step away from the crowds and into the wild with our Moraine Lake Sunset & Stargazing Tour, a truly magical evening experience in Banff National Park. This tour offers a chance to experience Moraine Lake beyond the usual daytime rush, in a setting that’s peaceful, immersive, and truly unique. From wildlife sightings and sunset photography to exploring the vast night sky, this is an evening adventure designed for those who want to see a different side of the Rockies.
Pass by: Bow Valley Parkway
This adventure begins with a scenic drive along the Bow Valley Parkway, a prime wildlife corridor where we may spot elk, deer, or even bears as they emerge in the cooler hours of the evening.
Stop at: Morant's Curve
Along the way, we’ll stop at Morant’s Curve, an iconic photography spot where the winding railway meets the towering peaks—a perfect opportunity to capture the golden light before sunset.
Stop at: Moraine Lake
Upon arriving at Moraine Lake, you’ll have time to take in the changing colors as the sun sets behind the Valley of the Ten Peaks. A short guided walk along the lakeshore will allow you to fully appreciate the peacefulness of the area at this time of day, when most of the daytime crowds have cleared out. After the walk, we’ll head up to the rockpile, the best vantage point for watching the sunset. Here, you can relax with a hot drink, enjoy the quiet atmosphere, and watch as the lake transitions from vibrant blue to deep twilight hues. As night falls, we’ll turn our focus to the night sky. With minimal light pollution, this is one of the best places in Banff National Park for stargazing. We’ll use telescopes and binoculars to get a closer look at distant planets, constellations, and, if conditions allow, the northern lights. Whether you’re a first-time stargazer or an astronomy enthusiast, the sheer number of visible stars will leave a lasting impression.
