For a few brief weeks each fall, the alpine forests surrounding Lake Louise turn gold.
Larch season typically reaches its peak from mid to late September, creating a remarkable window for exploring trails such as Larch Valley, Saddleback Pass, and Taylor Lake. For a different perspective, the The Lake Louise Ski Resort & Summer Gondola offers sweeping views across the valley and surrounding peaks.
Plan for an early start, dress in layers, allow extra time for busy trailheads, and check current conditions before setting out.
The season is fleeting, but the landscape is unforgettable.
