Description
Beautiful Peyto Lake is a glacier fed lake in Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Waputik Range. It is near the famous Icefields Parkway and visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The magnificent turquoise blue water is the result of glacier rock flour, which are suspended rock particles.
The space for visitors is quite small and is under construction until August 2021. I was very lucky to have been on one of the first buses unloading and hurried down the steep walk before the viewing area became extremely crowded. If you choose to visit, get there early!
