The Lookout: A Night Under the Stars

As the evening light softens over the valley, step into the quiet magic of the alpine for a guided journey into the night. This unique experience begins with a gentle dusk hike to The Lookout—a secluded mountainside perch above Blackcomb, where sweeping views and open skies set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Guided by local astronomer, former President of the Royal Astronomical Society of BC—you’ll explore the wonders of the night sky through professional telescopes. Planets, distant stars, and constellations come into focus as stories unfold—blending science, mythology, and the timeless human fascination with the cosmos.
As darkness deepens, gather around a glowing campfire to relax, have a traditional smore or a savoury smore, and take in the stillness of the mountain night. Far from city lights, the stars shine brighter—offering a rare and awe-inspiring perspective above the valley.

The evening concludes with a peaceful, guided hike back down under a canopy of stars—grounded, inspired, and connected to something vast.

Perfect for families, curious minds, and anyone drawn to the wonder of nature after dark.
