Experience the sunset with picnic and campfire

When the sun slowly sinks behind the mountains and the Kananaskis Lakes glow warm and golden, 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 sounds – with a bit of luck you might even spot a moose or bighorn sheep in the distance.

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

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