Rock Flour
Peyto Lake, Banff National Park.
It was an overcast and rainy morning so we were able to bypass the main parking lot and head to an upper lot to reduce the amount of time of the hike to get to this spot off a small dirt trail. This rock outcropping is another 15-20min or so from the main viewpoint and the views are stunning from here. I met an Australian photographer at this spot and we swapped portraits of each other from a top of one of the rock ledges. This one is without either of us in it. I like how it shows the run off from the mountain snow through the rock and mud and into the lake. This glacial migration is considered rock flour. This was our second stop on the Icefields Parkway.
