Information & Itinerary

Embark on a three-day photography adventure through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Canadian Rockies.  Journey along the legendary Icefields Parkway, where towering peaks and brilliant turquoise lakes - including the striking Peyto Lake - offer endless opportunities for breathtaking images.

In Jasper, you'll explore the iconic Maligne Lake, including a scenic boat cruise to Spirit Island, one of the most photographed locations in the Rockies.  You'll also visit the dramatic upper Maligne Canyon before wrapping up the day with a sunset photoshoot at serene Pyramid Lake.


On the return trip, you'll photograph the shoreline of glacier-fed waters of Lake Louise and stop at Morant's Curve, in hopes of capturing the classic scene of a train curving through the mountains alongside the Bow River.

Please Note:

This excursion includes the cost of the Maligne Lake boat tour, two breakfasts and one lunch.  An advance lunch order will need to be arranged and paid for during the conference to maximize time spent enjoying the sights.


Due to very limited group accommodation available in Jasper, this excursion requires a firm commitment to attend by December 30.
