Peyto Lake is a stunning glacier-fed lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Its vibrant turquoise color comes from the rock particles flowing into the lake from a nearby glacier during the summer.

This is an easy 4KM paved hike to a beautiful lake!
Tip - go at sunset!

Free parking is available.
