Banff Stargazing Tour: 2-hour walk under dark skiesA two-hour guided stargazing tour in Banff National Park starts at sunset from the Cave and Basin parking lot and follows 3.5 miles of mostly flat trail through dark skies. The guide provides headlamps and lanterns; ice cleats are included when conditions require them. The tour runs if cloud cover stays at 50 percent or less, and departure time shifts with the seasonal sunset—you'll be notified 8 to 24 hours ahead if the schedule changes.Is it for me?Step into Banff's dark skies as twilight fades and the stars emerge above the open landscape—your guide leads the way so you simply arrive and experience the night sky unfold.
