Peyto Lake is one of those iconic spots in the Rockies where the water is a breathtaking, vivid turquoise. From the main parking area, it's a short, paved uphill walk, about 10 to 15 minutes, to the main viewing platform where you'll be rewarded with the famous panorama of the wolf-shaped lake and the surrounding peaks. It's an easy effort for an absolutely unforgettable payoff.
