Begin your day with pickup in Canmore, Banff, or Lake Louise, followed by a scenic shuttle ride into Banff National Park. Make your first stop at Moraine Lake, where a short walk to the Rockpile reveals its famous turquoise waters framed by the Ten Peaks.
Begin your steady ascent into Larch Valley. The trail winds through forest and switchbacks before opening to sweeping alpine views. As you climb, towering pines give way to golden larches, and the dramatic silhouettes of Mount Temple and Eiffel Peak come into view.
Hike at a relaxed pace with plenty of breaks to enjoy the scenery and take photos. At the top, savor a guide-prepared lunch surrounded by stunning mountain vistas.
After descending, return to Moraine Lake, then make one final stop at Lake Louise for a perfect photo opportunity. By late afternoon, shuttle back to your original pickup point—tired but inspired by a truly unforgettable day.
