Twilight Over the Rockies: A Private Sunset and Stargazing Evening from Moraine to Lake Louise.

A Flexible, Private Evening to Chase Sunset
Because the experience is fully private, guides can alter the route and timing to place you in the best position for changing light conditions and compositional opportunities.
From Dusk into Dark-Sky Moments
As darkness falls the tour can shift into stargazing in lower-light areas — offering clear views of the night sky when weather and conditions permit.
