A Spectacular Turquoise Peyto Lake in Canada
Peyto Lake, the Rocky Mountains, Canada. Found in Banff National Park at 1860 m (6100 ft) height the turquoise lake is fed by a glacier. Situated in the Waputik Range valley, the lake is surrounded with three high peaks and features breathtaking panoramic views. The radiant color is prevalent in summer, when melting glacial brings rock flour into the lake.
The park itself is a popular and the most visited spot in Alberta all year round. Hiking, climbing and camping are things to do in summer, while skiing is the most beloved activity in winter. Since Peyto is surrounded with high peaks, there are various spots from where to view the lake, Bow Summit being the highest one.
During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise colour. Because of its bright colour, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot for tourists in the park. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway.
