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.🌅

☕ 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! 🌄

Rainy morning at Lake Louise makes for a quiet time with fewer crowds. Appreciate the beauty in it all!🌧️

What’s better than a bench with a view? Sitting here, watching the sunrise with your friends and a good morning coffee. That sounds like the start to a very good day!

Meet Tyler.

Around here, he’s known as the Keeper of Cool Facts. The kind of person who can casually point at a mountain, a flower, or a pile of rocks and suddenly have you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Tyler has an education in Outdoor Adventure and has spent the last four years guiding throughout the Rockies. Whether he’s leading a hike, sharing stories about the landscape, or helping guests spot wildlife they would have otherwise walked right past, his passion for these mountains is impossible to miss.

As the other owner of Tait’s Trails, he’s been exploring the Rockies long before the company existed. These days, he gets to share that passion with guests from around the world.

He’s knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to answer questions, although fair warning: ask him one question and you may leave with ten fascinating facts you didn’t know you needed.

We’re pretty lucky to have him leading our team!

A rainy morning at Lake Louise.

Most people dream of seeing this place under blue skies, but there’s something special about it when the clouds settle into the mountains and the rain softens the landscape. The crowds thin out, the lake turns a deeper shade of turquoise, and the whole valley feels a little quieter.

Not every mountain morning needs sunshine to be memorable.

Have you ever wondered where we get that bright blue colour of our Rocky Mountain lakes?

That unreal blue-green colour at Emerald Lake isn’t edited, filtered, or some Parks Canada marketing conspiracy. 💧🏔️

The colour comes from something called glacial flour (also called rock flour) , an extremely fine sediment created as glaciers slowly grind against the surrounding mountains. As snow and ice melt, that sediment washes into the lake and stays suspended in the water.

When sunlight hits the lake, those tiny particles reflect the shorter blue and green wavelengths of light, giving Emerald Lake its famous colour.

Basically: glaciers are giant natural blenders with excellent taste in aesthetics.

Not every wildlife sighting happens deep in the backcountry. Sometimes the Bow Valley Parkway decides to casually remind you whose home you’re driving through.

Spotted this incredible bull moose moving through the trees on a quiet stretch of road in the Rockies. One of those moments where everyone in the vehicle suddenly stops talking for a second.

The mountains have a way of surprising you when you slow down long enough to look around.
