Mistaya Dreams {Explored}

On the day before my birthday I went out to the Icefields Parkway with my dad to shoot sunset. I really wanted to explore this hidden gem called Mistaya Lake (I first heard about it from Paul Zizka), but I was hesitant because there is no trail and it involves a creek crossing and a half hour bushwhack off trail through the forest. All that aside, I knew this was the perfect time to try and reach the lake because there was some fresh snow on the ground that would make it easy to follow our tracks on the way back so we didn't get lost. Eventually, we made it to the lakeshore and this incredible view opened up before us. The lake itself is comparable in size to Peyto lake, and somehow it remains hidden from the majority... Thanks for looking!
