The Ultimate Larch Adventure
Larch season is short but sweet in Banff. Typically lasting from mid-September to early October, there isn't a lot of time to see the beautiful larch trees in all their golden glory. Luckily for you, we have just the solution.
Our one-of-a-kind Larch Adventure gives you enough time at Moraine Lake to hike to the stunning Larch Valley for an unforgettable view of larch trees and glaciers. Depart for your hike from our comfortable 15-passenger, pass by the beautiful Moraine Lake, and begin your ascent.
You'll follow switchbacks through pine forests, watching as the trees change from green to yellow, until the view finally opens up revealing the splendour of Larch Valley. Nestled underneath the massive Mount Temple, you'll have 360-degree mountain views with more larch trees than you can count! Don't miss your chance to see one of Banff National Parks most beautiful seasons, book your adventure today!
What will the day look like?
Convenient Hotel Pick Up in Canmore & Banff
Sit back and enjoy the 360 degree mountain views while your guide safely navigates the mountain roads. Due to the nature of lighting in the different valleys we will visit, we will adjust the timing of each stop to ensure the best possible experience. Time spent at each lake is guaranteed regardless.
Moraine Lake - 5 hours
Hike to the beautiful Larch Valley. At 8.6km round-trip with 535m of elevation gained, this hike is moderately difficult but well worth the effort. At the top you'll be surrounded by panoramic mountain views and stunning golden larch trees. With 5 hours allotted for hiking the trail, you'll have plenty of time before or after to check out Moraine Lake's other beautiful viewpoints like the Rockpile Trail.
