Sunrise from Canmore
Canmore to Moraine Lake Shuttle – Direct Hotel Pickup
From your Canmore hotel to Moraine Lake or Lake Louise—before the world wakes up. Skip the stress, experience the magic.
“Approximately one hour from your hotel, two of Canada’s most iconic lakes await.”
Staying in Canmore gives you the best of both worlds: a charming mountain town, stunning views of the Three Sisters, and proximity to Banff National Park. But getting to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise for sunrise? That means navigating unfamiliar mountain roads in the dark, fighting for parking spots, and hoping you don’t miss the moment.
What if someone could pick you up, get you there on time, and help you be ready when the magic happens?
More Than a Shuttle
A Photography-Centric Sunrise Experience
Other shuttles drop you off. We make sure you are set up, positioned, and ready when the light hits.
Unmatched Schedule Precision
We arrive 60+ minutes before sunrise. You will be set up with your camera ready while others are still in bed.
Guides On the Rockpile
Our guides do not just drop you off. They are on the rockpile with you, helping you find the best viewing and photography spots.
Photography-Centric Design
Every aspect of our tours was designed by a professional photographer for optimal photography conditions.
Small Groups, Your Pace
Max 12 guests, and the van stays. Leave when YOU are ready, not when a bus schedule says so.
Your Journey
From Canmore to magic moment
Gateway to the Rockies
From Canmore, you’re perfectly positioned to experience both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise at sunrise. The extra 30-minute drive means an earlier pickup—but also a longer sleep on the return journey.
Your journey begins in the quiet hours before dawn, when the peaks are silhouettes against a slowly brightening sky.
Your Guide
Mark Unrau
Your guides have driven the Canmore-to-Moraine Lake route hundreds of times. He knows which roads are best in the dark, where to stop for the best views, and exactly when to arrive to catch the first light on the Ten Peaks.
“The drive from Canmore is actually my favorite. You watch the sky change from black to purple to pink as the mountains slowly reveal themselves.”
