Peyto Lake

Peyto Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. It can be best viewed from the Bow Summit along the Columbia Icefields Parkway. The lake gets its colors from the large amounts of glacier rock flour that flow into it during the summer months. The color varies depending on the season and even with the time of day. The viewing platform overlooks the lake and surrounding mountain valley. You have to walk up the hill. It is a 3.8-mile round trip hike. There is part of the hills that are steep and slippery. But it is well worth the strenuous climb.

 

Have a healthy and safe weekend my dear Flickr friends!
