Guided Fall Larch Hike
For a short window in autumn each year Banff National Park is home to golden forests of larch trees. Larches are coniferous trees that stand out for their unique behaviour during the fall season. Unlike typical evergreens, larches shed their needles, painting the landscape in breathtaking shades of gold, orange, and yellow.
Experience this spectacle for yourself on a guided larch hike. There are a number of larch forests in Banff National Park and your experienced local guide will ensure you have a safe and unforgettable journey in your pursuit of gold.
