Experience the sunset with picnic and campfire

When the sun slowly sinks behind the mountains and the Kananaskis Lakes are bathed in warm gold, this place becomes magical. You sit on a blanket, enjoy your picnic and breathe in the fresh air. The silence of the wilderness is broken only by distant animal calls – with a bit of luck you might even see a moose or bighorn sheep in the distance.

As dusk falls, it is time for the campfire. If no fire ban is in place, you can bring wood from the supermarket or petrol station, enjoy the crackling and roast marshmallows. While the flames dance, you share stories and gaze up at a starry sky that you only see far away from towns.

Remember warm clothing, a torch and insect repellent – and check in advance for possible fire bans. Don’t forget to book the Kananaskis Conservation Pass – this is required and can be reserved online. That way your evening by the lake will be an unforgettable experience.
