PEYTO LAKE: Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada |
| Peyto
Lake is situated on the Icefields Parkway about 40 kilometers (30 minutes) north of the
town of Lake Louise.
The lake is fed by the
runoff from the Peyto Glacier (this glacier is part of the Wapta Icefield) which lies
about 5 km to the south of the lake this gives the lake a magnificent blue colour in the
summer months due to the mineral content. This is one of the most scenic places in the
Rocky Mountains. At the summit of Bow Pass (2088 m.) on the Icefields Parkway is the path
to the Peyto Lake overlook. From the parking lot you walk up for about 400 m. in a steep
but easy paved trail to a lookout platform that provides a great view of the lake. If you
travel the Icefield Parkway, you must not miss this viewpoint. |
