Step into the crisp autumn night and embark on a memorable 4-hour stargazing tour at Two Jack Lake, one of Banff National Park’s most breathtaking night-sky destinations. Surrounded by towering peaks and the quiet beauty of fall wilderness, you’ll experience the serene Rockies under a canopy of stars.

The tour begins with a peaceful, guided walk beneath a sky filled with countless stars.
