Canada Sunburst Lake Northern Shore, Mount Assiniboine

The Sunburst lake is one of the few lakes around the Mount Assiniboine. It offers views on the Mt. Assiniboine itself as well as the Sunburst peak and turns beautifully yellow in autumn season.

Try to find calm areas around at the lakeshore to get a bit of a reflection if it's windy outside.

In order to get to the Mount Assiniboine area, you need to hike (shortest way) for 26km to the campsite. This will cover 700m elevation gain. Otherwise, you can also reserve yourself a spot in a helicopter (225$, as per 2024) to reach this location. From there, you will find many hiking possibilities.

To reserve a campsite spot at this location, you need to book way in advance or being lucky of getting a cancelation spot.

Always carry bear spray and be familiar with bear behavior since this is highly dense bear territory.
