Description

Escape the hustle and bustle and step into the wilderness on a Moraine Lake sunset and stargazing tour, a truly magical evening experience in Banff National Park. Your adventure commences with a scenic drive along the Bow Valley Parkway, a key wildlife corridor where you might spot elk, deer, or even bears as they appear during the cooler hours of dusk. En route, you'll pause at Morant’s Curve, a renowned photography spot where the meandering railway meets towering peaks—a prime opportunity to capture the golden light before sunset.This tour provides an opportunity to discover Moraine Lake beyond the usual daytime rush, in a setting that’s tranquil, immersive, and truly distinctive. From wildlife encounters and sunset photography to exploring the expansive night sky, this is an evening escapade designed for those who wish to see a different facet of the Rockies.Upon reaching Moraine Lake, you'll have time to take in the shifting colours as the sun descends behind the Valley of the Ten Peaks. A brief guided stroll along the lakeshore will allow you to fully savour the serenity of the area at this time of day, when most of the daytime visitors have dispersed. After the walk, you'll head up to the rockpile, the optimal vantage point for watching the sunset. Here, you can unwind with a warm beverage, relish the tranquil atmosphere, and observe as the lake transitions from vivid blue to deep twilight shades.
