WHAT TO EXPECT

Weather in the mountains is often unpredictable and forecasts can be misleading. During summer, we can experience almost every type of weather imaginable. From very hot and dry conditions, to freezing cold conditions, we see it all. Not to mention, it can be cloudy, foggy & rainy, and we even sometimes see snow on our summer trips. With that being said, it’s common for the weather to change quickly, so if it’s cloudy & raining, cross your fingers and in no time it might just be bright and sunny again.

We do our very best to avoid the large crowds to give you a more relaxed and intimate experience, but it’s not always that simple. Banff National Park attracts more than 4.5 million visitors per year, and Moraine Lake is easily one of the most popular sights in the park. When the larches turn gold for a short period, Larch Valley quickly becomes the most popular hike in the entire national park. For those of you who want to try and avoid the crowds, this might not be the experience for you.
