If you love taking photos of Canada's most beautiful spots, then you have to head to Banff ASAP to get your own stunning shot of Alpenglow! What's Alpenglow? In the moments after the sun sets in the sky, there's a glow on the mountains that can be different shades of pink, red and even purple! It's not just the glow of a sunset—it's something else entirely and it will leave you mystified. The Alpenglow Festival at the Banff Gondola celebrates that magical phenomenon and gives you get the best possible views! Be there to capture every moment as the skies and the mountains change colours like magic. These last days of Winter are the best time to see Alpenglow since the white of the snow creates a perfect backdrop to see all the beautiful changing hues.

Single shot. . . . Watching a tiny spec of sky burn like ember on the dark hike up. To seeing it explode into an almost unrealistically magical colour is quite the start to the day.
