Guided Night Hike

Step into a winter landscape illuminated by a full moon or a sky filled with bright stars. A guided night hike will take you along quiet forest trails, past frozen waterfalls, and beneath towering, snow‑covered peaks. With an experienced local guide leading the way, you’ll hear stories of the area, learn about the surrounding environment, and feel confident navigating the trail after dark. It’s a peaceful and memorable way to experience Banff National Park in a whole new light.
