Highlights
More information
Darkness brings a sense of mystery to the mountains. Running on select dates around the new moon, our Rugged Dark Sky Series embraces nights with minimal moonlight, inviting you to experience Johnston Canyon’s winter wilderness through heightened senses, local folklore, and stories of survival.
Stop at Hillsdale Meadow, take in the open sky and observe the stars, with opportunities to identify constellations when visibility allows.
Journey to the lower falls as your guide reveals how wildlife endures the cold and navigates life after dark. Pause with reduced artificial light, let your eyes adjust, and listen closely to the winter forest. These darker nights offer a chance to discover how much you can sense beyond what you can see.
Warm up with a hot drink and a savoury Canadian snack as mountain tales bring the surrounding wilderness to life. For those drawn to wild places and atmospheric storytelling, this limited-date experience offers an evening of curiosity and adventure in the Rockies after dark.
