Larch Valley

Larch Valley, located in Banff National Park, is one of the most beloved hiking destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Known for its breathtaking alpine scenery, this trail is especially popular in the fall when Alberta’s vibrant larch trees transform into a sea of golden hues. At specific elevations, these iconic trees thrive in clusters, creating one of the most picturesque landscapes in the Rockies.

Visitors hiking above Moraine Lake and into Larch Valley are rewarded with sweeping views of towering peaks and an expansive larch forest that showcases the Rockies’ seasonal beauty at its best.
