Classic 'High Noon' at Peyto Lake

Banff National Park, Canada

Peyto Lake (pea-toe) is a glacier fed lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway at Bow Summit, about 30 minutes north of Lake Louise.

During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise color. Because of its bright color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot for tourists in the park.

Seems like only yesterday I stood at this spot but it's been six years. Beautiful photo Gary. You are very lucky to live so close to some of the most extraordinary mountains in the world. And they are lucky they have your skill to showcase them so well. Vote.

Gary, you are right, and I might guess, one of the most often posted on PBase. I never get tired of looking at these shots. One day I would like to post my own shots of this lake.
