Banff sunset in the Canadian Rockies. — Third Time's a Charm

Banff, Canada

A glorious sunset in the Banff region, taken from the summit of a high peak in the fall of 2022, which required 40 miles of hiking and nearly 10,000 ft of gain all to get this image. This was one of the primary images I was after during my three week trip to the Canadian Rockies, and it required a great deal of perseverance... My friend and I had to climb this peak *three times* before we were satisfied with the light. Sunset was the time to be up there, which meant a six mile hike through grizzly country down in the dark. I wasn't content with the light we got the first two times so we decided to go a third time. Little did we know the trail closed the day of our third attempt due to a bluff charge by a grizzly...

I was determined to figure out another way to get to the peak so we did some research and discovered you could access the peak from a different valley (outside of the grizzly closure). It required bushwhacking and a nearly 17 mile jaunt. So the very next day we made our way, summiting a third time and were finally rewarded with this beautiful sunset. Following dusk, we had 8.5 miles down in the dark, only to run into 3 grizzlies: a mom and two cubs. They were fairly close, and it was dark, but thankfully they minded their own business and we eventually made our way back to the trailhead, arriving at midnight (to our knowledge, these grizzlies were not the ones involved in the bluff charge). What an epic day...
