What To Expect
Peyto Lake
Peyto Lake is a stunning, wolf-shaped, glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park known for its vibrant, milky turquoise color, caused by sunlight reflecting off suspended rock flour (glacial silt). Located along the Icefields Parkway at 1,860m elevation, it is best visited from June to September for its intense, almost artificial-looking color.
Bow Lake
The water displays a bright turquoise color due to rock flour (glacial sediment). The landscape includes dramatic views of the Bow Glacier Falls, Crowfoot Mountain, and Bow Peak.
