Banffs Majestic Glacial Lake | Peyto Lake - Banff National Park

Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is near the Icefields Parkway. It was named for Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area. The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m.
During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, and these suspended rock particles are what give the lake a unique bright, turquoise colour. Because of its bright colour, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and the area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot. In 2021, Parks Canada completed improvements to the lake viewpoint, trails and parking areas. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway.

Watching your video is such an entertainment I have to tell everyone. Very delicate, very fine produced, and very knowledgeable.

When did you do this Eric? Saw it from Cirque peak. More snow showing here. Still beautiful none the less. Cheers!

This was like second week of June. I have to return to Cirque Peak, overcast last time I went. But to be honest, the valley to me was more interesting than summit views.
