Pano view of Peyto Lake, Banff National Park, AB

            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.  Peyto Lake should be top of the list of places you have to visit in the Rockies. This incredible lake has to be seen to be believed and some people rate it even more highly than the stunning Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. The dazzling glacial blue water shimmers in the day time and is surrounded by huge alpine mountains.

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 (6,100 ft).

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.  The viewpoints for Peyto Lake and Bow Lake are incredible as unlike Moraine Louise or Lake Louise, you are incredibly high up.  I took this photo just from the wooden platform of the lookout viewpoint.  This pano photo was mergerd with a few overlapping vertical  images.
