Follow the riverside walkway to the cable car, then explore illuminated gardens, boardwalks and woodland paths at the summit. The 2026 trail has a new route and installations.

The Vista Bar offers drinks and pizzas, while the café serves food and cakes. Hot food service ends one hour before closing. There are also firepits for toasting marshmallows.

The event terms say dogs are not permitted at the Lights of Abraham. Contact the attraction about assistance dogs. Some areas of the trail are inaccessible because of the steep terrain; see the operator’s accessibility information before booking.
