Lake Louise This Morning✨

Mornings like this at Lake Louise never get old. 🏔️

Cool mountain air, calm water, and the first light of the day hitting the peaks. Fall has officially arrived in the Rockies, and Lake Louise is putting on a pretty good show.

Come see it for yourself with Tait’s Trails. 🥾🍂

There’s fall… and then there’s larch season in the Rockies. 🍂🏔️

Arnica Lake absolutely shows off this time of year. Golden larches, crisp mountain air, turquoise water and a trail that somehow gets better around every corner.

The larches don’t stay golden for long, which is part of what makes this little window in the Rockies so special.

If seeing the mountains turn gold is on your fall bucket list, this is your sign.

🥾 Arnica Lake
📍 Banff National Park
🍂 Larch season at its finest

Come hike it with Tait’s Trails.

We’ve watched the sun come up over Moraine Lake a lot this season… and somehow, it never looks the same twice. 🌅🏔️

Clear skies, moody clouds, alpenglow, glassy water and mornings where the Ten Peaks slowly appear out of the darkness.

There’s something pretty special about being here before the day really begins.

A little look back at some of our favourite Moraine Lake mornings this season. 💙

Want to catch one for yourself? Send us a message and come chase sunrise with Tait’s Trails.

There’s sunrise… and then there’s alpenglow at Moraine Lake. 🏔️🌅

Those first few minutes of morning when the peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks catch the light and start glowing pink and gold, it’s one of those Rocky Mountain moments that photos never quite do justice.

Early alarm? Very early.
Worth it? Every single time.

Come experience Moraine Lake before the rest of the world wakes up with Tait’s Trails.

Message us to book your sunrise adventure. ✨

💛 Larch season is almost here! 💛

For a few short weeks each fall, the Rockies put on one of their best shows as the larches turn from green to brilliant gold. It’s beautiful, it’s fleeting, and it’s absolutely worth getting out on the trail for.

Whether you’re looking to explore Larch Valley, find a quieter golden-larch trail, or just want someone else to handle the planning while you enjoy the views — we’ve got you covered.

🥾 Guided larch hikes
🏔️ Local knowledge
📸 Plenty of photo stops
🍂 Some seriously good fall scenery

Larch season doesn’t last long, so message Tait’s Trails to plan your larch adventure!

Come for the golden trees. Stay because your camera roll now has 400 nearly identical mountain photos. We get it.

That first touch of morning light ✨

Golden sun catching the treetops, Moraine Lake peeking through below, and the mountains slowly waking up around us.

Mornings in the Rockies are hard to beat. 🏔️🌲

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.

Want to experience Stanley Glacier with us? Send us a message or reach out at [email protected] to join an upcoming guided hike!
