Description

Added by Chaniel Nelson

Amazing views, very accessible, rewarding, suitable for every age and skill level.

Would you ever expect this view to be within walking distance (along with a little bit of hiking) from the highway? Peyto Lake, and Peyto Glacier, as seen from Bow Summit. This lake is known as one the 'bluest lake in the rockies' and didn't disappoint at all. I was hesitant to visit, because it is easily accessible and touristy, and I usually avoid places like that. I ended up having the area to myself. GO!
