Peyto Lake

Peyto Lake is a striking glacier-fed lake located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Known for its vivid turquoise color, the lake gets its striking hue from finely ground rock particles called glacial flour, suspended in the water. Shaped like a wolf’s head when viewed from above, Peyto Lake is surrounded by rugged mountains and dense forests, making it a popular destination for sightseeing and photography. Its cold waters support a diverse ecosystem, and the area offers hiking trails and viewpoints for visitors to appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
