Description
What a beautiful sight to see these glorious mountains. Traveling along the Icefields Parkway from Banff and heading to Jasper we were treated to beautiful sights all along the way. Here we stopped at the Peyto Lake, Alberta, Canada. Very often one does not get a reflection in the lake because of the cloud cover over the mountains. So this was a very special photograph to be able to see the mountain side reflected in the lake.

Peyto Lake
This glacial lake draws visitors for its turquoise waters and surrounding mountain scenery.
Peyto Lake is one of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park. It turns aqua blue in summer, creating a beautiful sight as the water is surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
The lookout high above the lake is the best place to see the water. Not many visitors hike down to the lake itself. There�s a car park just off the highway, and it�s a 10 to 15 minute walk to the lookout. The trail is paved and suitable for just about any fitness level. A second car park closer to the lookout is for tourist buses and disabled parking.
The lake is 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Lake Louise, and about 63 miles (100 kilometers) north of Banff. Rent a car from either town and drive the scenic Icefields Parkway. Several tour companies run day trips through the National Park, and most include a stop at Peyto Lake Lookout.
