Banff Sunset Lakes Photography Tour

The Sunset Tour offers an unforgettable experience at two of the most iconic lakes in the Canadian Rockies — Lake Louise and a second lake that changes with the seasons. During summer, the journey continues to Moraine Lake, where the golden glow of sunset reflects off the turquoise waters and the Valley of the Ten Peaks shines in hues of amber and rose.
In winter, the adventure leads to Minnewanka Lake, where snow-covered mountains and pastel skies create a serene, dreamlike panorama as daylight fades. Traveling along the scenic Bow Valley Parkway, you may even spot local wildlife such as elk, deer, or bears along the way. Whether you visit under the warm light of summer or the tranquil stillness of winter, each sunset in Banff reveals a different side of the Rockies’ timeless beauty.
