Peyto Lake

Like its neighbour, Morain Lake, Peyto Lake’s waters are transformed into a vivid shade of turquoise by the spring glacial melts.  Summer months mean that the lake is packed by hordes of tourists, so it can be a good idea to visit the viewing platforms during winter instead.  The lake’s transformation from bright blue to frozen white is fascinating, and watching the nearby mountains being obscured by blizzards is quite surreal.
