Your night starts with a comfy, heated van pick-up in downtown Banff – settle in, headlamps ready.
Crunch along the steel catwalks through a frozen canyon lit only by your headlamp – massive ice columns, glowing blue walls, and the quiet rush of water below.
Reach the waterfall platform for front-row views of ice cascades and icicles that feel otherworldly in the dark.
We choose the best spot that night – either calm lakes reflecting the Milky Way or the high lookout above town – hot drinks and sweet treat in hand while the stars take over.
Back in town warm, buzzing, and already replaying the night sky in your head.
