Guided Larch Hike with CYAN
- Festivals & Events
Oct 17 - 8:30am - 3:30pm
Join Canmore Young Adult Network and White Mountain Adventures for a full-day guided adventure to Arnica Lake and experience one of the Rockies’ most spectacular times of year – Larch season!
Beginning at the Vista Lake viewpoint, we’ll first descend towards the turquoise waters of Vista Lake before beginning our climb towards Arnica Lake. The trail winds steadily uphill through the forest and into beautiful stands of larch trees before reaching Arnica Lake, tucked beneath the dramatic slopes of Storm Mountain.
In the fall, the larches transform from green to brilliant shades of gold, making this a particularly special time to explore the trail.
Your journey will be led by experienced guides from White Mountain Adventures, ensuring a safe, informative, and fun experience.
