Light planner

Sun, twilight, and camera direction for Lake Louise and nearby spots
If your timing depends on sunrise, sunset, or a quieter golden-hour window, use this planner first. Pick a date, a location, and a camera direction, and you will see the light windows for that day before you commit to shuttles, trailheads, or photo stops.
