Wildlife doesn’t exactly work around our schedule… but we know a few of their favourite hangouts 🐻🫎

Join us for an evening wildlife tour through the Bow Valley as we head to areas where elk, bears, bighorn sheep, deer and other local wildlife are known to frequent.

Of course, these guys are wild, so there are never any guarantees on what we’ll see. But we know where to look, when to look, and we’ll do our best to give you the best chance of spotting some of the locals.

Even if the wildlife decides to ghost us, an evening exploring the Rockies is never a bad way to spend a few hours. 🏔️

Come see what’s out there with Tait’s Trails!

🍂 Larch season is coming to the Rockies!

For a few short weeks each fall, the alpine larches around Arnica Lake trade their summer green for brilliant gold , and it might just be one of our favourite times of year to hit the trail.

🥾 Arnica Lake Larch Hike
📍 Banff National Park
↔️ Approx. 10 km round trip
⛰️ Approx. 580 m elevation gain
🍂 Plenty of golden larches waiting at the top

The climb will make you work for it, but arriving at Arnica Lake surrounded by golden larches and mountain views makes every uphill step worth it.

Larch season doesn’t stick around for long, so we’re opening up limited guided hikes this September to catch the colours while they’re at their best.

Come hike golden season with us. 🍂🥾

Alpine glow on Moraine Lake 🌄

There’s a small window in the morning when the peaks light up, the lake is still, and everything just looks a little unreal.

Worth the early alarm? We think so.

Sunrise mornings at Moraine never really get old.

Stanley Glacier showing off a little today 🏔️

Clouds rolling through the valley, massive limestone walls, clear mountain streams and just enough blue sky sneaking through. Even on a moody day, this trail is pretty hard to beat.

One of our favourite hikes in Kootenay National Park, you climb through the regrowth of an old burn before opening up into the incredible basin below Stanley Glacier. The views just keep getting bigger the higher you go.

Definitely one to add to the Rockies hiking list.

Emerald Lake and Basin hike📍

12 km of mountain trails, glacier-fed lakes, wildflower meadows, and views that somehow keep getting better around every corner. 🌼🏔️

The past couple of days on our Emerald Lake & Basin hikes have been nothing short of incredible. The wildflowers are putting on their best show of the summer, the air is fresh, and every step is a reminder of why we love sharing these places.

If you’re looking to experience the Rockies beyond the viewpoints, this hike is one of our favourites. We’d love to take you along.

If you ask us, there’s no better way to start the day.

The air is crisp, the coffee is hot, and Moraine Lake is putting on a show you’ll never forget.

Who’s your sunrise date? We’d love to show you one of our favourite places in the Rockies. 🌄

One of the best parts of this whole adventure has been sharing these places with the people who have been cheering us on from the very beginning. 🤍

A morning at Moraine, good company, too much coffee, and a few memories added to the collection. Grateful to call these folks family friends and even more grateful they came out to experience our little corner of the mountains with us.

Hard to improve on a freshly baked muffin with a Moraine Lake backdrop… but if anyone figures it out, let us know.

The mountains did their part, Beamer’s did theirs, and we’re just happy to be here.

Some mornings are worth the early alarm.

After a lot of cloudy sunrises, we finally got treated to that classic Moraine Lake alpine glow this morning. It never lasts long, but that’s part of what makes it special.🌅

06/09/2026

☕ Local coffee, mountain sunrises, and fresh pastries. Sounds like a pretty good morning to us.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Beamer’s Coffee Bar in Canmore! Going forward, the coffee and pastries included with our Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Sunrise Tours will come from this amazing local favourite.

Supporting local businesses is something we’re passionate about, and we’re proud to share a little piece of Canmore with every guest who joins us.

See you at sunrise! 🌄
