True Blue.
Peyto Lake was the next lake on our itinerary after Bow Lake. It is named after Bill Peyto, a pioneering trapper and trail guide from the Banff area. Access to Peyto Lake was just off the Icefields Parkway and travelling by bus we were fortunate to get to a parking lot closer to the lake. It was a short uphill walk to get to the viewing platform.
The water was so blue, it was a sight to behold. Peyto Lake is one of the most beautiful and one of the bluest glacier fed lakes in the Canadian Rockies. The distinctive blue color is due to rock flour particles which flows down into the lake with the glacial melt and scatters reflected sunlight in an unique way.
There is a viewing platform which was overflowing with tourists, so we trudged up a little higher towards the Bow Summit to get a better and uncluttered panoramic view of the scenery.
