Peyto Lake, located in Banff National Park, is a stunning turquoise gem nestled in the Canadian Rockies. Its vibrant color comes from rock flour that flows into the lake from surrounding glaciers. It's definitely a must-see spot for anyone exploring the area! The lake is shaped in a unique fox pattern it is really pretty. At the parking lot you just have to walk 500 meters or so to the viewing platform. If you want to make it into a little hike, walk past the viewing platform about 300 meters until you see a small trail. This trail is about 700 meters long and will bring you to this rocky outpost. It is a bit hard to find, but worth it. There are no signs, so it actually took us a little while to find it. You can visit this spot in summer and winter.
