Pretty Peyto

One of my favorite lakes, for several reasons: the glacial silt giving it this pretty blue/teal color, the spectacular setting and the shape of a dog/coyote head on the right.

 

The lake is fed by Peyto Creek, which drains water from Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield), which then flows into the Mistaya River.

 

So much striking beauty along the Icefields Parkway.

 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
