Rock Isle Lake Alpine Vista

Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Front-Row Seat on the Continental Divide
Perched high in the Sunshine Meadows of Banff National Park, this camera looks out from near the top of the Standish Express chairlift at Banff Sunshine Village. The island-studded waters of Rock Isle Lake sit cradled among rolling alpine terrain that straddles the Continental Divide.
Peaks Toward Mount Assiniboine
Beyond the lake, an endless procession of the Canadian Rockies stretches to the horizon, crowned by the pyramid summit of Mount Assiniboine โ the celebrated Matterhorn of the Rockies. Snow lingers in shaded couloirs long into the warmer months.
Alpine Meadow and Boreal Forest
Foreground stands of subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce give way to open meadow that erupts with wildflowers, one of the most treasured high-country walks in the Canadian Rockies.
Getting There
Reached only by the resort's gondola and chairlift, the Sunshine Meadows viewpoint offers a vantage most visitors experience on foot along the Rock Isle Lake trail โ a rare, road-free alpine panorama.
